autism joke that's only funny with an israeli accent 

of course i'm allistic! autism only counts as real autism if it's from the ottawa region of canada. otherwise it's just sparkling general anxiety disorder and selective mutism

explaining the autism joke that's only funny with an israeli accent 

you see, it's funny because in hebrew, the "aut" in autism (/otizm/ <אוטיזם>) and the "ott" in ottawa (/otawa/ <אוטווה>) both sound identical, which they don't in my american accent

(though they might, in, like, some obscure rural scottish dialect i don't know of)
