Autistic mom

[Buttercup9616]

I'll start off by saying how grateful I am for my mom, she gave me life, she helps me with my son, she helps me live in an expensive state of Colorado. But I honestly think she is becoming autistic. Or maybe she was always autistic. Idk what the hell is going on with my mom honestly, but I'm going to post everything I know on here hoping to get some help. I know she had a tramatic childhood, and her dad wasn't around and her mom was working, so she basically raised herself. She has epilepsy after a terrible car crash, which resulted in minor brain injury. She also was a strong alcoholic for years, which resulted in more brain damage. She is always forgetting what she is saying, forgetting words, clutsy as hell, and honestly seems drunk all the time even though she isn't drunk. Now why I think she has Asperger's, is because socially she is not there. I never hear "how was your day" "how was work" she only talks about herself and never seems to care how I am. Now why I think this is autistic is because I've met autistic people, and from the outside they just seem selfish. But I know that's not the case. They don't know any better. And that's how it seems my mom is, she cares about me, but she just doesn't know how to express it.y family doesn't believe me. They just say she has always been selfish. But I don't think it's that. I just think she doesn't know any better. I don't know autism well, so please no negative comments. I'm here to learn, but right now all I see is autistic people being called selfish, even though they honestly don't know any better.
