I'm sorry you feel that way but I would agree 100% with the writer of the article. I am the offspring of an aspie mother. She did some things right like made sure I was fed and clothed and she would say the right things etc. She would follow the lead of what you are supposed to do, but in no way was she able to love me or understand how her rage and and other problem behaviors damaged her children. To this day she is clue less and refuses any conversation about my feelings and my experience. She is however very aware of her own and makes it clear to us that we always have to see her, respect her and care for her. Walking on egg shells is the only way to be around this woman. My cure was to have my own children and be a real mother to them but it also required ten years of therapy and distancing myself from my mother. Finally, I have come to accept that she had never and could never love me or my brother.
