Bystanders have reportedly been left “traumatised” after overhearing an autistic woman answering the question “what’s the worst that can happen?”

The question, which was reportedly intended to be rhetorical, was answered in harrowing detail by Sabeen Bhatt, 46, who began by describing every possible calamity in her immediate surroundings, before moving on to the world at large. 

Eyewitness, Eli Port, 28, commented: “I had no idea the world was such a dangerous place. I’m never going outside again.”

“I mean, obviously I knew in theory,” Port continued. “But hearing it all laid out like that… What the fuck is a fire tornado? How are we even still alive?”

Another member of the public, Olivia Buckingham, 38, agreed: “She started by pointing out the unsecured building tools resting precariously on some scaffolding and went on from there. By the time she got to ‘the melting icecaps releasing deadly prehistoric diseases,’ I had a full-blown anxiety disorder.”

Bhatt could not be reached for comment, as she was still going.
