‘Here’s the Weavery Looming Up’: Verbal Humour in a Woman with High-Functioning Autism / Abigail WERTH in Autism, 5-2 (June 2001)
[article]
Titre : ‘Here’s the Weavery Looming Up’: Verbal Humour in a Woman with High-Functioning Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Abigail WERTH, Auteur ; Michael PERKINS, Auteur ; Jill BOUCHER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.111-125 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A case study of Grace, a 29-year-old woman with high- functioning autism, is presented. Grace is unusual for a person with autism in that she produces a great deal of humorous and creative word play. She is also unusual in that she writes and then audio-records ‘letters’ to her family, and produces copious cartoon-like drawings which she annotates, with the result that multiple examples of her humour are available in permanent form. We present examples of Grace’s use of puns, jokes, neologisms, ‘portmanteau’ words, irreverent humour, irony, sarcasm and word play based on her obsessional interests. The examples are used to illustrate the forms and content of Grace’s humour, and are discussed in relation to current theories of autism and of normal humour.
