How would you have been in this situation ?

If I was alone and not interested, I would just walk past the stand. If I was interested or curious, I would stop and taste it.

If I was with someone who stopped and I wasn't interested, I would either walk on and continue finding foods we were there to get (after letting who I was with know I wasn't interested by a head shake or saying "nah"), or I'd be waiting there awkwardly and silent until they were done

I was angry at the WP site more than at you because I had to type same post five times, and the captcha kept erasing what I wrote. So I apologize for sounding abrasive.

But he has mentioned his stepdaughter more than once. He never talks about supervising people, like children, in his posts. He talks about being supervised. Its a recurring theme. And he is a rather high profile poster on this page.

And about "what NTs do". you're saying that NTs fail the Sally-Anne test.

I think that you have it backwards. It autistics who are supposed to be bad at theory of mind.

Failing the sally-anne test is what autistics are supposed to do. NTs are supposed to ace it. Autistics are the ones who cant figure out that Sally doesn't know that Anne hid the cookie when Sally left the room. NTs are supposed to nail it.

I was told years ago on a now defunct autism based newsgroup that I expected people to automatically know things . That was deemed an autistic trait .

Because I am on three prescriptions, energy drinks are IMO, the closest I will probably
ever get to drinking alcohol.

Sir Fnord and Sir Natural Plastic are indeed right about one thing that everyone should remember; if one starts drinking energy drinks, an addiction will happen that the person may or may not be able to control.

I don't believe the energy drink person would have given a child a sample of the energy drink.

I don't believe the person giving the energy drink would have had a chat with a child.

But that's water under the bridge.

I, myself, dislike energy drinks. I'm hyper enough as it is!
