It Was Never Just a Steak: Date Night as an Adult With Autism
Laura James, a journalist with autism, has learned to navigate the world as best she can. Going out to dinner, she says, “works best when I have a number of rules in place.” These include: knowing the restaurant well, knowing the menu well, and knowing what she’s going to order before she even gets there.
