You're some random anonymous guy on the internet asking a public and very personal question about somebody's mental health with no obvious context, no sense that some people might consider that a sensitive topic, and apparently no awareness that doing so looks like you're calling them clueless. You do all this while claiming to be asking a serious question. (Rather than, say, emailing me.) And you're wondering if I have have problems functioning in society?
The headline writer for the original article put in a joke. Xentronium, correctly, pointed out he appeared to get the joke backwards. Somebody else said, "it's just a joke", which is a thoughtless thing to say when you're trying to analyze why a joke does or doesn't work. If there's anywhere it's reasonable to nerd out on a nerdy joke, it's here.
So I pointed out a great source, written by experts in funny, explaining why getting to truth really matters in comedy. I am unable to fathom why you think that's a sign of a social disorder, let alone sufficient license to act like a dick.
