Some days I read Jokes on reddit. Today I saw one that by substituting a word, becomes a spectrum joke.
reddit version =
An old man goes to a job interview....
The HR Director asks him: "What would you say is your greatest weakness?"
The old man replies, "Honesty"
The HR Director says, "I don't really think honesty could be considered a weakness."
To which the old man says, "I don't really give a crap what you think"
Substitute aspie for 'old man.'
If you know or come across others that adapt well, post here.
(Yeah, I know this joke is old & the attitude is stereotypical in both versions.
What I am interested in is the process of adaptation and the result.)
