Why can't we aspies detect sarcasm? It's so hard when Kalister1 says stuff to me, because I think it's sarcasm, but I don't know if it is or not!!

My main problem is that I am rather fond of the use of sarcasm, but do not have enough control over the tone of my voice to make my sarcasm apparent to others.

I understand sarcasm...but sometimes when someone teases me in a sort of sarcastic way I have nothing to banter back with...so even though I know they're kidding I try to explain myself...then they look at me weird and assure me they're kidding, and I just say "Yeah I know." It's weird...I get sarcasm but sometimes don't respond correctly.

WOW, I have that SAME problem! Sometimes I KNOW a person is kidding, and the intonation, etc... implies I DON'T!

Of course aspies don't get sarcasm. No one understands sarcasm.

Yeah, I don't really understand it either... or do I?

Me too. I love sarcasm. I have no problem detecting it in other people, but I can't express it effectively. People always think I'm serious when I'm being sarcastic. I've created some serious misunderstandings that way.

People also occasionally think I'm being sarcastic when I'm being serious. This has gotten me in trouble too. It's so frustrating!

If I know someone is joking around I do get sarcasm, but in some situations I really don't know if they mean what they say or not. Like at work, guy's have said " you"re fu**king useless", I know there kind of joking, but I don't know how to take it.
