i'm a confirmed autist.
i know my parents want me to be more social, so i've been trying to at least make some small talk.
last night i went to eat dinner with them.
my dad asked how my day was. i said it was good and asked how his was.
he responded by mimicking my voice in a mocking tone.
i didn’t say anything, and just went back to my room.
i made ramen on my hotplate and went to bed.
this morning my mom told me she called him out for it.
he got pissy and said i was "disrespecting him" with my tone.
then he got angry at her for defending me and left for a while.
i asked my mom why she wanted to be with someone like that for the rest of her life and she just said "relationships have highs and lows."
