I'm curious as to whether or not autistic people like puppets, muppets, etc more than NTs. For me, puppets, muppets capture and hold my attention far more than most people do. It's also very easy to watch puppets, muppets and make eye contact with them than it is real people.
If there's a puppet, it's got my attention. I'm also amused by their expressions and movements. My favorite example is an old TV commercial that came on when my wife and I were dating. I'd never seen it before and I found the puppet so hilarious that I couldn't stop laughing; the kind of laugh where no sound it coming out, when you've expelled all breath. I'm glad my wife didn't "back away slowly" from how atypical that level of reaction from me was.
Who wouldn't like the PG Tips Monkey?
Or this guy? This one made me laugh like crazy too the first time I saw it. My wife texts it to me somewhat often because she knows I find it amusing.
