I know exactly what you mean because my mother went through a spell of suggesting I was autistic because I was slow at learning to talk and didn't like change. The fact that I always had a big circle of friends who never misunderstood me didn't seem to register that maybe it wasn't me that was the problem.
I know know what to say to help you apart from just to ignore it.
Thus so far I've just tried to annoy her with it. Like I'll make absolutely sure to walk on my toes when I'm around her...she's always yelled at me for it, but now that she thinks it's a "symptom" and it bugs her even more, I feel compelled to do it all the time.
I kind of know that feeling. I think I sometimes played up to it too. In retrospect, it didn't do me any favours because she just told all her friends I was acting weird (while I was in earshot). That just ended up making me feel angry and misunderstood.
Is it normal that my mom things I have aspergers?
