An autistic woman has been left confused and dismayed that her family aren’t speaking to her after she created a whole game out of mocking them, sources have revealed.

Sarah Harrow, 35, designed the bingo cards as a fun and wholesome Christmas activity for the whole family to enjoy. Instead of numbers, she labelled the squares with each family member’s bizarre or dysfunctional behaviours.

Examples included: “Auntie Deborah has bought someone a weird gift”; “Failed attempts to prevent Tricia from drinking”; and “The Over-65s Racist Olympics is underway.”

“It just didn’t occur to me that they might be offended,” Harrow mused, sadly. “I didn’t notice at first, because I was busy marking off ‘Trying not to flinch when someone kisses you.’ But then Tricia called me a fucking horrible cow, and Auntie Deborah started weeping over the cravat filled with almonds that she’d bought for my dad. I think I might have really upset them?”

“I guess it’s not just the turkey that’s roasted,” she continued, hopefully, but was met with silence, followed by another stifled sob from her aunt.

The family were too distressed to comment.
