The cliff notes version is that people laugh in two ways: when they are truly joyful, and when they are being deliberatly social (created, rather than spontaneous laughter.) Austistic kids don't do the deliberately created kind. This causes social problems for them.
Well, I've always delighted in Sparkle's laughter, because it sounded so happy and joyful. And so it does, because so it is.
