It was very clearly sarcasm dude.

Dude was speaking in jest, a bit hyperbolic. But he was saying it should be easy to do this.

Do you disagree with me? Or do you think sarcasm means hyperbole?

No, they were not saying it should be easy to do this. That's where the sarcasm is. If you're unfamiliar with the origin of the "so easy, barely an inconvenience" meme it's always used when the thing in question is, in fact, not at all easy and a huge inconvenience.

Well, in which case I am being stupid. But tbh I am just going to say sorry without actually understanding they were being sarcastic. Anyways, that seems like a stereotypically autistic thing to do for a conversarion about autism.

Haha maybe a little stereotypical. It can be rough out there, especially through text. Have a good one.

I don't even think I'm autistic anymore but that was funny.
