Excuse me!

As an autistic/ADHD[1], I can assure you that we do get sarcasm, and it's not autism that hinders that ability. In fact, this very post is peak autistic humor. (Deadpan comedy is trademark autism[2]).

Ding-ding, that's the winner! A necessary and sufficient condition for comments of that sort to appear.

Not exclusive to people on the spectrum either, mind you.
