Mom decided to get mad and stomp around for twenty minutes, criticizing everything about me when I was not able to immediately respond to her from the top of the stairs in my room when she was at the bottom of the stairs.
She couldn't find her spoon.
She can't seem to get it through her head that, no, hearing and understanding do not mean the same thing. Just because I heard someone doesn't mean I have the slightest clue what they were saying.
I'm autistic. She knows this, but she never once bothered to put any research into what that could possibly mean and acts like everything I have difficulties doing is a character flaw that is easy for me to overcome. I have so much input from every little thing that I can't tell what's going on unless I apply my full and undivided attention to whatever it is that requires my attention, and that means I can't simply shift focus from thing to thing without issue. If people start applying too much input, I get overwhelmed and have a meltdown.
Apparently, the person who spends all their time saying they'll clean up the trash around them while browsing Facebook and playing Candy Crush has free reign to questions what everyone else is doing that's so important that they cannot immediately respond the instant they're prompted.
So she just threw her food in the floor, made a mess of her sleeping area and stormed outside after I finally came down to try and figure out what she even wanted in the first place.
"Where is my spoon?!" I was asked. I had to ask what she meant. I did not have context.
"My spoon! It was on that plate you washed!" I reminded her that I never took a spoon with me.
She got so worked up that she just yelled about everything while I'm doing my best to keep a straight face and keep things calm and rational (which is something I have difficulties doing). I don't like being accused of things I didn't take part in.
She stormed outside. I decided to throw trash away that she had left all over the place.
Her spoon was on the serving tray in front of her TV.
Covered in garbage.
She has the audacity to imply I'm a trashy and lazy person when she lets stuff pile up for months at a time.
Tres things:
Uno: Autistic. Huh. Never knew.
Dos: Das a lot of mommy issues.
Tres: This works really well with your signature.
