Annotation

This paper explores the interest of humor as character force in individuals with Asperger's syndrome/High Functioning Autism (AS/HFA) and how it is linked to life contentment and orientation to felicity. It appears that AS/HFA individuals do not regard humor as great character strength and humor does not add to their life satisfaction to the same extent as in typically developing controls.
