An autistic teenager transported into magical a world of technicolour has reportedly been left “desperate” to find her way home, away from all the horrible technicolour.

Dorothy Gale, 16, from Kansas, described the land of Oz as “ow, my eyes”.

Gale commented: “To be honest, I couldn’t give a shit about my Auntie Em. I just want to be back in my sepia farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, preferably under a blanket.”

“Which way is the Emerald City?” Gale continued. “Because I’d like to get as far from it as fucking possible. That LED yellow brick road alone is making me hallucinate until people from my regular life look like they’re made of straw, tin and er… lion, I guess?”

“I just wish I’d been crushed under that house. It looks nice and dark under there.”

Gale then asked the Munchkins for directions to the nearest pharmacy for some Nurofen, causing them to burst into noisy, high-pitched song.

Gale added: “There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home.”
