    The joke is “look weird place”, but just saying that is boring, so we bring in kissing to enhance the joke, since kissing is like a big emotional activity that people often remember

      Um, so then kissing is something that people would like to remember as an enjoyable and sacred experience (of course), but doing so at Autism Peak would be counterproductive to that because the location is associated with looking weird, thus sabotaging the experience and memory? If that’s the case, I can see how it’s funny now…Ohhhhh! Okay. lol It’s kind of like, “What if we kissed at Vertigo Peak” since being dizzy would seem counterproductive to a smooth kissing experience.

      Fun fact: I had seen this meme before, and found it funny because someone made the meme, but I didn’t know the joke. The humor to me was that someone made this because it seemed so pointless. Also, that there’s a place called Autism Peak. Since I knew I truly didn’t get the meme, I shared it with friends to see their reactions and maybe get an idea of what was funny about it. However, the friends I shared it with are NTs and just felt uncomfortable with the meme while I was laughing. I wonder what I missed with that interaction…
