So we got a guy in the UK who wants to buy a pair shoes. Simple, right? But due to COVID, everyone is either closed or is sold out. But fortunately, the clothing store at the mall is open.
So he gets the shopping center, and for some reason, the only way to get to the store is by riding the escalator. Strange, because malls generally have an elevator or a flight of stairs; but then again, it's the UK.
But our hero has a sensory issue that kicks in whenever he rides the escalator down and has anxiety issues that are so bad, that he can't be bothered to ask for someone to stop the stairs for him. He also hates the smell of the clothing there and a certain type of carpeting in these stores, but he goes there anyways because he needs his shoes. And what happens when he walks through these areas?
He basically goes into a never-ending cycle of paralysis and mutism until he somehow gets away. And instead of shopping online to skip the hassle, it turns out that he can't really tell the difference between a legitimate deal or not.
And due to these anxiety attacks, this guy has to drink a lot, which leads to him answering nature's call more often than you'd expect. Of course, he admits to urinating in public (and almost getting caught) because everything's closed and he can't be bothered to find a way around this.
Farther proof that autism is a disability, folks.
