Have you ever been given two options by a non-autistic, and you choose an option, and then you're told, "No, you should pick the other option."
This almost always causes me to meltdown and cry.
Why was I presented with two options in the first place?

I'll give two examples:
Example #1: I purchased a dress from a small business. I was told I could provide 19 measurments or 3 measurements. I requested the 3 measurments option. I was then badgered for two days that I should not go with that option. I broke down in tears.

Example #2: A long time ago (pre-Autism Dx), I was in a mental health facility. I was asked if I would like treatment for anxiety OR depression. I requested treatment for anxiety. I was told that if I didn't comply with treatment for depression, I could not leave the facility.
Are fake options a neurotypical form of passive-aggressive communication?
