A dyspraxic autistic woman tasked with finding her way out of a Halloween corn maze first has to find the entrance, her loved ones have revealed.
Olivia Buckingham, 26, who took three months to learn the layout of her small workplace and still frequently ends up in the stationery cupboard, reportedly thought it would be a great idea to visit a dense thicket of over a million maize plants and see what happens.
Friend Megan Aldrich commented: “Admittedly we were so worried about Liv finding her way out, we didn’t stop to think that this might happen.”
“We told her to meet us at the entrance,” Aldrich continued. “Which has a massive luminous green sign and staff members dancing around dressed as giant eaves of corn. But maybe they’re too subtle.”
“Or she could just, I don’t know… follow all the people? Is that too obvious?”
Buckingham commented: “I’d been working on the assumption that everyone was trying to get OUT. Anyway, I think I’ve nearly found it. Just five more minutes.”
At the time of publication, Buckingham had not yet found the entrance to the maze, but urged her friends to give her a couple more weeks.
