I've had to take breaks from reading things that were too relatable in order to process them, but I can't remember anything like that particular to ASD and childhood at the moment. Then again, I can't say I've read many stories with an ASD protagonist at all. Maybe I should fix that, so thanks for the reading recommendation. Anyway, my brain was so used to contingency planning I don't think this particular situation ever happened to me. I would have immediately flagged it and asked, "What should I do if they don't have trout?, then asked a bunch of followup questions for acceptable other items, alternative places to check, etc. until I either had an acceptably thorough decision tree or annoyed the other person into giving up or understanding that they might not get what they want if reality doesn't comply.
