An autistic person has bravely chosen a scary film to spend a couple of hours not actually looking at, friends have reported.
Dexter Livingstone, 24, reportedly likes the idea of watching a horror movie, but a too scared to actually glance at the screen for more than a split second.
Housemate Ellie Mulligan, 26, said: “For fuck’s sake, Dex, they haven’t even moved into the haunted house yet!”
Livingstone said: “I just have to quickly check this urgent work thing.”
“You work at Tesco,” Mulligan responded. “Why don’t we just watch something else.”
“No no I’m totally watching,” Livingstone added. “Wait, what just happened?”
