This woman has a 30-year-old female friend who has Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and recently, they decided to go to Disney World together.
Her friend is currently single and does not have any children. She, on the other hand, has a 1-year-old kid. So, they opted to drive separately to the theme park, and she brought her toddler.
However, from the moment they arrived, her friend was dead set on following a very specific plan. She was told exactly what they would be doing, which rides they’d be going on first, and what times they could order food or drinks.
“This was fine,” she recalled, “Until about eight hours into the day, when I suggested we go on a different ride than what she wanted.”
In response, her friend pointed out how that wasn’t a part of her plan. Her friend was also adamant that they stick to her itinerary.
Still, she couldn’t have cared less about the plan since she was lugging around a 1-year-old and trying to accommodate both her child’s and friend’s needs.
Even so, she wound up following her plan for a few more hours in order to keep things peaceful at the park.
“But then, my child needed food, so I insisted we deviate from the plan so I could get something to fuel myself and my kid,” she explained.
Well, this caused her friend to have a total meltdown. Her friend began crying and accusing her of not being understanding.
