We don't know where this young lady was on the autism spectrum. We're reading an article.
None of the bolded translates to an inability to go into a dressing room by herself and try on her own clothes. There is a difference between family choice and what is a necessary condition under her form of autism. One thing that families dealing with disability have to understand is that not everywhere they go will understand the accomodations necessary; and there will be instances where they will have to let go of some of the less necessary accomodation requests.
That is probably where the debate came in. If the manager was smart she/he would've let it slide to avoid any conflict. Of course, that can lead to letting it slide for others who don't really have disabilities that prevent them from being in a dressing room by themselves.
But, it is what it is.
