Don't know about your friend, but I would be pretty offended if a friend pointed out that I have trouble getting sarcasm or jokes. I would interpret that as them saying I am slow. I would start to question why they want to be friends with me if they think of me that way.
Do you know what your problem is?
You haven't Studied the Spectrum,
You offered an Ignorant opinion, as far as I'm concerned! Pull the Beam out of Your Eye, before you Try, to remove the specks in Someone else's!
Are you Afraid to Really See Yourself?
You want this to be about You, anyway.
Why are you Here ?
Do you need Our Help, or would you rather Fix everybody; except Yourself?
Thanks for this!
