Is this being downvoted due to being perceived as offensive, or because its not funny? I certainly did not intend it to be offensive, in fact I first saw it when reading a joke thread on an Asperger's forum.

I haven't downvoted it.

On the other hand laughing at how people with Asperger sometimes aren't socially skilled, hasn't much value.

Its supposed to be funny due to metahumour. I certainly agree that simply laughing at people with poor social skills is neither witty nor productive.
