But they sent my area to a different building.

I'm at a place I don't know, surrounded by people I've never met, and as it happens food I can't eat.

I'm not allowed to leave.

I'm supposed to feel appreciated.

I'm not sure autistic people realize that's an option. My daughter's autistic and I don't think it would ever occur to her than she can simply bail without explanation.

Right, that's something that needs to be learned, which is why I'm helping by telling them that.
