I need a toothpick

A man with autism spectrum traits insists on specific rituals and objects (toothpicks, maple syrup) while dining out, creating tension as his brother tries to get him to adapt. Perfect for showcasing rigid thinking, social friction, or someone refusing to compromise on their needs.

WHAT'S SAID “I was okay in the hotel last night with the pizza but in a restaurant, you were in the fork. Of course I don't have my toothpicks. You don't need toothpicks, Ray. The pancakes keep sliding off. You're gonna eat with the fork. I don't have my maple syrup either. I'm gonna be without my maples.”
