An autistic woman who has gone five minutes without any aches or pains is reportedly beginning to worry that something is deeply and mortally wrong.

Siobhan Moorton, 23, almost always has some part of her body hurting thanks to a horrifying smorgasbord of comorbidities. However, nothing is currently hurting, which according to Moorton is probably a sign of organ failure.

Moorton said: “I’m getting worried now. I’ve tried walking, sitting, standing up, bending over… not even a twinge. Maybe my nerves have finally deteriorated after years of excessive firing.”

“There’s no rational explanation for this other than I’ve died.”

A few minutes later, Moorton sighed with relief as her period began.
