An autistic woman has decided to cut out the middleman by painting a bullseye on her back so everyone knows who to target, it has been reported.
Freya Emerson, 31, reportedly grew tired of people having to find out she was autistic before shitting on her for everything she did. After some careful painting on the back of an old hoodie, Emerson now bears a visual marker of her status as everyone’s hapless buttmonkey.
Emerson said: “It’s just better for everyone involved. We don’t have to do that dance of getting to know each other. Now everyone knows right off the bat that my physical and social clumsiness should be pointed out at every turn.”
“We can skip the small talk and go straight to you loudly asking why I need to grip the handrail for dear life before descending an escalator, or complaining that I’m always too tired to make plans, something that apparently should bother you more than it does me.”
Emerson has since reported that her target has saved her time, and made her a hit with the local archery club.
