But look at that belly! He must really let himself go once he on the job

Not sure if it's mocking us or educating non-Aspie people but they can be humourous.

I think it's supposed to be relatable. I think that's why it's such a popular meme - it's a way for socially awkward people to have a "oh my gosh, that happens to me, too!" moment. There are a lot of socially awkward people... and they tend to frequent the internet.

It's funny and sad at the same time.
This does mock some of us, for better or worse :/ |

I can relate to EVERY one I saw on that website.
The annoying childhood friend one reminds me of MY friends. That was probably me, too, I just never knew it. |

Can't most people relate to many of the penguin memes?
A friend of mine said he felt more social because he can't relate to most of them.
But...
I feel more socially connected and less weird because I CAN relate to like..most of them.
And I don't really feel like I am horribly pathetic. Maybe I am. |
