Hello everyone, and welcome back to Dialogue with Cristobal Martinez!

When it comes to Autism Moms in their fifties raising their autistic children who are in their twenties, caregivers need to be hired to accompany autistic children who might care a lot about their futures and self-worth. When an Autism Mom sees autism as a superpower to extreme lengths, their autistic child has to deal with their narcissistic mother (and father). That has been the case with my mom.

I thought she was confirmed to go to a physical therapy appointment to treat her arm pain. Then, she didn't go.

Then, whenever I go to my aunt's house for laundry day, I suddenly have to help my mom fold the laundry, because my aunt has a hip problem. I know my aunt had hip pain for a long time, but she felt fine to help with my mom to do laundry on past visits. So, why did my mom insist that I help her now?

It's obvious my life as an autistic person, living with parents, on disability benefits, isn't like the other autistic people. But sometimes, I wish my life is like other autistic people. I shouldn't have to worry about a pile of responsibilities that might show up to my door.

Now the reason why I'm on disability benefits is because I'm autistic with psychosis, and I have to be on meds, and I will have a difficult time at any work environment. If having disability benefits eased me from working a job, why the fuck am I working around the house, then?

That's the problem with people like my mom. They have bad luck with pain and aging, and they expect their autistic child to see them as their burden.

"Oh, CaN yOu HeLp Me WiTh ThIs? My ArM hUrTs ToO mUcH tO iT-" BITCH, GO TO PHYSICAL THERAPY! GO TO PHYSICAL THERAPY! STOP USING YOUR ARM PAIN TO COSPLAY AS A DISABLED PERSON!

At this point, my mom is yearning to act like her parents. She's already doing so, and now look at the position she's put herself in. Pathetic. Go hire a caregiver, not your autistic child.

I want to repeat, people like my mom act like this:

Add doom scrolling and rotting in a simple chair, you need to hire a butler for them.
