I didn't know HFA folks could do that-lol?

Urban myth. It has been argued that Einstein couldn't possibly have been on the spectrum because he told jokes. Which is a stupid argument if you know anything about his life. The signs are very obvious.

Think about it, HFAs are pre-wired for research. In fact, most scientists and engineers are usually somewhere on the spectrum, although not as far out as to get the label of HFA. The differences between a HFA and NTs become pretty obvious to the HFA pretty early in life.

So almost all of them study NTs. It is pretty obvious that use of humor is valuable if you want to pass as normal. And humor, especially involving puns and word play is not that hard.

Now ask yourself, why are the works of Lewis Carroll so popular for those on the spectrum?

The way he plays with language.
