Sometimes if a joke doesn't land, it's because the joke wasn't funny. (Also, yes, a lot of folks here are autistic, maybe cool it with the veiled insults.)
Sure sometimes... other times you get deadpan replies unironically demanding citations and proof of claims.
There's nothing veiled or an insult: what I mentioned is a real factor in why people would read that statement and jump to demanding proof.

If I told a room full of plumbers that Sharkbites are actually sponsored by big Water trying to encourage water wastage, it definitely might not land... but none of them are going to demand a citation!
You truly don't see how "you didn't get my joke because you're autistic" is not an insult, to people who did you the courtesy of assuming good faith? Not to drag this out, and I don't personally have an autism diagnosis, but seriously this is no way to act in a space where autism is overrepresented.
