Or my mom trying to cure my autism with a gluten free diet and trying to prove my incompetence to everyone (including my primary and high school) even when I explicitly asked her not to. Definitely better than your example, but I'm really looking forward to fucking off to college and hopefully never returning home.

Definitely strains of my stepdaughter and her son.

I don't know if/where he is on the spectrum, though there's definitely a dash of undiagnosed bipolar with a heavy dose of self medication now. But as a kid, his rage issues were attributed to a WIDE variety of causes:

  • autism
  • oppositional defiance disorder
  • ADHD
  • gluten allergy
  • some sort her doctor ordered during her c-section
  • etc

Ignoring that most of it stemmed from abandonment issues with her. She only paid attention when he had a meltdown, so he very quickly figured out that it was the surefire way to get something from her.

All so she could feel less guilty about being a miserable parent. Yay.
