Does she accept her diagnosis, or is she in denial about that too? She probably wants to believe that you are perfect, because you are her child. I think can be counterproductive. Maybe she thinks you will do better if you think there's nothing wrong with you? I think this is neglectful though.
I have had depression and anxiety for a most of my life, and I'm pretty sure my mother, and her family have preferred to just think I'm lazy. It's shitty, I know. Denying the existence of something doesn't make it go away.
she accepts it but she hardly ever talks about it. I have other problems wrong with me too though and she accepts them all except my autism diagnosis. and yeah my mum is like that too, if I can't do something she thinks i'm lazy or if i'm in a deep thought and she says something and I ask her to repeat herself she's like you're only pretending not to listen to me because you don't want to
IIN my mum refuses to believe I have autism?
