A rainbow ends in a man's yard...

... and he finds a leprechaun sitting on it. He grabs the little man and demands, "Hey, I've caught you, give me your pot of gold."

The leprechaun stares blankly at the man, and says nothing.

The man says, "Do you hear me? I said give me your pot of gold, I caught you!"

But the leprechaun says nothing.

The man gets fed up and demands, "Give me the damn gold!"

The leprechaun says nothing.

The man finally accepts that he's not getting money out of this creature, and dumps him back onto the rainbow. "If you're not going to pay up, get the hell out of here."

But the leprechaun still won't answer him, and barely acknowledges he's even talking. The man gets so frustrated he moves to grab the leprechaun and drop-kick him off his property. He's just about to do it when he hears a tiny, out-of-breath voice and rapid tiny footsteps.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" a second leprechaun shouts. "You leave my brother alone!"

The man looks to the second leprechaun. "I caught your brother, but he won't give me his gold."

"He can't do that! For fuck's sake, man, you can see the end of the damned rainbow right there. Do you see any fucking gold? He doesn't have any right now!"

"Well, why didn't he just say so in the first place? I wouldn't have gotten angry if he'd just answered me."

"Because he's autistic!"

"And how was I supposed to know that?!"

The leprechaun points to his brother and says, "Look at him, you fucking idiot, you can see plain as day he's on the spectrum!"
