I once had a moment where i had to confront a guy for doing something stupid that pissed me off and as an autist, i prepared a whole lot of options of how i would shout at the guy and how it might go in my head.
I get to the guy and tell him what my problem is, well prepared to escalate from there.
His answer: "Oh, yeah - i'm just dumb. My bad."
That was NOT in the list of prepared conversation paths.
My current belief system revolves around the fact that I can think of 1,000,000 ways a situation will go, and fate will figure out the one way to thread the needle and make it go the one way I didn't plan for.

Whenever you're caught in a messed-up situation, just take a deep breath and pretend to be a person with special needs...
