An autistic woman’s best friend in the entire world has been completely unaware of her title this whole time, sources have said.

Sabheen Bhatt, 19, reportedly considers Krista Shure, 20, her sister from another mister, but the first Shure heard of it was in a birthday card where Bhatt described her as her “BFFL, which means ‘best friend for life’, which is what you are”.

Shure said: “I think we’ve got some wires crossed. Sabheen’s a close acquaintance – someone I’d invite to a bigger birthday party where I needed to bump up the numbers – but I wouldn’t have said ‘best friend’.”

“My best friend is actually Megan Aldrich, who’s in all my Instagram pictures. I thought it was obvious – I don’t know what gave Sabheen the idea that she was anything other than a safe and pleasant person I have no desire to get to know.”

Bhatt said: “Krista’s always really busy so we don’t meet up a lot, but seeing her post all those pictures of herself hanging out with the same group of people makes me feel like we’re still connected. Love my bestie!”
