No idea .. but there are questions. Sometimes things don't say what's in them, or prices aren't clear/obvious - especially if you don't know what they call things and the prices aren't on the individual trays.Princess_Coupon wrote: »:rotfl::rotfl:

And I just like to look and think. My brain processing of new visual information is very slow. I have to literally list in my head what everything is, then narrow it all down to what I want. I get information overload otherwise - trying to take in too much information just makes me unable to take any of it in.
And I need all the information before I can make a decision - not knowing what something is, or how much it is, means the information set is incomplete and that causes issues and confusion, that can easily quickly lead to a meltdown.

Just thought of some generic example questions:
- breakfast slice: what's in that then?
- chicken pie: is that white sauce or brown gravy?
- miscellaneous random things: what's in those then?
And having received the information, I have to then mentally compare the answer with the other stored answers to be able to decide what I want. It can take 20 seconds of pondering. If there's a lot of people about, then I daren't ask (don't want to be a nuisance). There's many a day I've gone without food/hungry because I felt unable to ask.
Not being able to "just ask" is a major limiting factor for aspies. We can't "just ask", but we DO need to know.0
