Sounds like I'm at the same level as you. Also I appreciate a real answer to my joke lol.

Tbf, there's a lotta folks who come in here from other instances without even looking at where they are, sometimes making thoughtless comments.

In case you were one of those, I thought it best to explain. ๐Ÿ‘

...I also did not realize it was a joke until you said something, so make of that what you will.

That's okay, jokes in text form do not often hit the way they were intended.

I was typing it out thinking "Oh this is going to be so funny when others see my stupid joke about autism percentages teehee." Perhaps not one of my best jokes.
