Then people with brain injuries to their frontal lobe who are aware of this limitation ought to be more cautious about the "jokes" that they tell.

@Scott321 You missed the "aware of this limitation" qualifier.

@Dyl1983 Listen brother, we are all in the process of learning what works under what circumstances, why and how. The only real issue is "are you willing to invest the effort to continue to learn in order to improve yourself as a component of your personal journey?"

A lot of what you post is entirely accurate, but from time to time something entirely inappropriate hits the page from you and I know you didn't think it through long enough. But hey, just do your best and that is all anyone can expect. Thanks for your willingness to hear me out.

This explains a lot. To quote POTUS Joe, "No joke."

Generalizations???? Becuz all frontal brain damage is Exactly the same.......

@Dyl1983 you make a sweeping generalization based on a snippet of "research" & then get all butt-hurt when someone points out the absurdity of the snippet & your naivete in buying into it? So cute......if you were 5.......

@Scott321: I know after my brain-stem stroke in 1989 (due to chiropractic manipulation) I had much trouble controling my responses to even slightly stressful situations, a marked difference, it seemed like 39 years of learned self-control had been wiped away.....
So i have No problem understanding that brain damage can have consequences, big & small. (Still have residual problems!)
I do have a Huge problem understanding how the effects of "humor appreciation" could be measured, however, even in "normal"people. There is a Huge range of response to, for one glaring example, Jerry Lewis.

I don't get it.

Also, autistic people seem to "get" slapstick humor much more easily than subtler kinds.

That explains Benny Hill and my Step-Dad.
