An autistic woman who prefers to eat her morning cereal with a teaspoon can’t explain why that’s better, it just is, so get off her back - according to reports.
Krista Shure, 39, has the mouth of a fully grown adult but that doesn’t mean she wants an unnecessarily big-ass spoon clunking around in there.
Shure said: “Life is stressful enough. I have bills to pay, a never-ending pile of laundry and my last name autocorrects to Shite. Let me have this.”
“Plus it makes my Coco Pops last longer.”
Shure’s wife, Freya Emerson, 40, said: “It wasn’t a criticism, Krista. I just don’t have anything to make tea with.”
