I really can't say. A lot of it was just getting used to the person and modifying both my expectations and responses in the light of new information. Meanwhile the other person is doing the same. Our senses of humor are very different and the other sensed that i found their's too far over the top so they toned it down.
On the other side, it maybe easier for people with autism to communicate electronically. My thought can appear more "normal" on the screen. I also am more mindful about limiiting my comments when i am writing than when i am speaking.
A former secretary tells a story about asking me a question which i spent five minutes answering. Her work demanded that she leave the office on an errand. When she returned twenty minutes later i was still "answering" her question. This doesn't happen when i type because i have to edit for spelling and in the process i also edit for content.
