    I wouldn't be surprised. If you're wondering, yes I'm on the spectrum. But I've also never seen eye-rolling used for sarcasm. It's so much more obvious to make a statement sound insane or to use /s.

    Also, would most of the world even interpret that emoji as "eye rolling?"

      Eye rolling is definitely a culturally-specific thing with the anglosphere, but the emoji is literally called "eye-roll" and does read visually as being that to someone familiar with the gesture.

      The added nuance here is that eye-rolling is an expression of derision and not just sarcasm, while culturally /s is used for being facetious (think friendly sarcasm) as well as actual sarcasm.
