Imagine moving in with your best friend, only to find out that their newly-discovered autism diagnosis would lead to a bizarre conflict over… cat kisses? That’s precisely the situation one 20-year-old woman found herself in when her 21-year-old male housemate took issue with the way she was smooching her feline friend. The housemate’s disgust sensitivity, a common trait in people with autism, turned a simple act of affection into a heated debate between the two pals. Let’s dive into this peculiar tale!

So, the cat’s out of the bag, and these two friends are left in a state of awkwardness and uncertainty.
