Absolutely. They tend to be binary -- yes or no, right or
wrong, *This* means *That*. Very little nuance and by very
little I mean none at all. Sarcasm is lost on them, because
you're stating [A] but meaning [B] and [B] always means
[B].

Why this is so horrible is that they know this. You can
sit down someone on the spectrum and spell it all out to
them, and they can absorb every word then turn around and
never so much as doubt their over rigid, black & white
world because it "Feels" right.

THAT is what makes it annoying!

Someone doesn't "Get" sarcasm? Who cares. But even if you
explain the sarcasm to them they'll reject it because that's
not what it means!
