There's also the story of an Asperger's individual at a museum. Instead of looking at the art in the normal way, he started to measure the distance between the paintings on the wall and calculate the average size of the frames. His very practical and unusual approach to the museum visit was both strange and funny at the same time.
Yes. There is a story about an Asperger's boy in school. When the teacher asked for creative writing, he wrote a long and detailed account about his favorite video game, including every level and character's stats. It was funny because it was so different from what the teacher expected, but it showed his unique focus and passion.
Yes. There's the story of a woman who thought she could solve her constipation by doing yoga poses she saw on the internet. She got into some really strange positions and ended up falling over and getting stuck in a corner. Her family walked in on her and couldn't stop laughing. It was quite a sight.
One story that's been around is about a schizophrenic patient who was convinced that the hospital's janitor was actually a secret agent. He would follow the janitor around, whispering 'I know your secret' and trying to offer his help in 'missions'. It was quite a comical sight in the hospital corridors.
Yes, there's a story from a small town. A local store owner 'kidnapped' the town's mascot statue as a joke for a charity event. He put up signs around town saying the mascot was on a 'forced vacation' and that people could donate to the charity to get it back. The whole town got involved in the fun and it ended up being a big success for the charity.
Yes. One ambassador was at a cultural exchange event. He was supposed to participate in a traditional dance. But he had two left feet and kept stepping on his partner's toes. His clumsy attempts at the dance were hilarious. Everyone still remembers that event with a big smile.
Well, in some cities, there are homeless musicians. There was one who played the saxophone in a very unique style. He would add all these crazy sound effects like honking like a goose in the middle of a song. People couldn't help but laugh and at the same time, they were impressed by his creativity. His 'homeless' status just added to the charm of his performance.
It's important to note that Hitler's actions were so atrocious that finding truly 'funny' stories about him is inappropriate. But some might consider his pompous and self - deluded nature as having elements that could be seen as absurd. For example, his grand speeches filled with empty promises and his false sense of superiority. However, this should not overshadow the fact that he caused the death and suffering of millions.
There's also 'Al Capone Does My Shirts' by Gennifer Choldenko. While it's not solely about Asperger's, it has a character with Asperger's and shows how he copes in a rather unusual environment, which is Alcatraz Island. It's an interesting take on how a person with Asperger's can function in a restricted and different setting.
In a family vacation story, a girl was climbing a tree. Her shorts got caught on a branch and she got a wedgie. Her siblings saw it and started teasing her. She chased them around the tree, still with the wedgie, which made it even funnier. It became a family joke for years to come.
In some old folklore literature, there are stories that might be considered in this vein. For instance, in certain tales of ogres and monsters that eat humans. One such story has an ogre who is so clumsy that when he tries to catch and eat a group of travelers, he keeps tripping over his own feet. The travelers manage to outwit him by leading him into a maze - like forest where he gets lost. This story uses the idea of the 'cannibalistic' ogre in a somewhat comical way.
Yes, there is a story about an Adidas HR recruitment fair. They had a big banner set up, but the wind blew it down right as the fair started. The HR team had to quickly improvise and ended up using it as a makeshift tent for their brochures. They were all crouched under it, looking like they were in a little fort, which was quite comical.
