Here's how ASD my son is.
When he orders from food apps and they have "buy one get one free" he thinks both of the things have to be exactly the same, including toppings.
He ordered a burrito and said he'd get me one for free. I forgot that meant mine would be EXACTLY like his, the same size with the same kind of wrap, the same meat, the same toppings, the same spice level, the same cilantro 
and all the same sauces. The price would be the same if I got different toppings or NO CILANTRO 
, but he doesn't believe me. It's the same when he orders burgers or any other food with options.
It's hard to believe he's actually Mensa but he just doesn't get it about BOGO.
(He also didn't believe me that you could use the veggie sprayer thing on the sink tap if you weren't washing veggies.)

I know the feeling about things like that. Some things just trigger an "Error - does not compute. You might show him that ordering a BOGO with different toppings is in fact the same price though, sometimes seeing it in print or in real life can help. (and I'm one of those "Cilantro tastes like soap" people, so I can totally understand the no Cilantro thing)

I'm actually a big fan of cilantro, but funny, nonetheless!
