Tell Fred a joke and often he’ll frown thinking you’re being serious.

Sometimes when you tell him something unpleasant’s happened, he doubles-up with laughter assuming it’s a joke.

He can’t tell fiction from fact.

Faction Fred, we call him!

    That’ll get Fred into some trouble I imagine, especially over the last few months of news!

    Sad to say, i know a couple of autistic people like this. They just don’t get the social cues.

    Fun story!
