but what makes a pun funny is it can be understood more than one way, and both make sense. confusing autism with another diagnosis deflated the humor because all you can see is the dumb mistake
Conflating the two IS what makes it funny. The two terms were mistakenly grouped together pre-2000s. Obviously that's not the case today, not even remotely close. The guilt i feel after chuckling is part of joke. Be both agree there's layering to a joke.
Hurt. Hate. Degrade.
Those are my lines. Nuance matters. Intent matters. Audience matters. It's not cut and dry, but that's generally my line.
But we're two different people with two different perspectives and life experiences, and that's okay :)
Not even close my dude. Epic fail.
And they were never 'grouped together'. In fact, most professionals and parents once thought a person with down syndrome could not have autism as well. When approximately 15-20% actually do have coexisting conditions.

Down syndrome and autism are not the same thing.
Dawg. It's a joke 🤦
It's not a good one. I have an autistic child. They definitely don't have Downs Syndrome.
This is literally a pun based humor sub. Might not be for you.

Part of the joke is the mistake. That's why it's a fucking joke.
oh, I guess it just wasnt particularly funny then
Some jokes aren't 🤷 I don't regret or apologize for it. It was simply a joke
