"I hoped you stopped being autistic"

Honestly not sure if I write this because I just want to complain, because I want to laugh at it, or because I want advice. The whole thing honestly just feels kind of absurd to me.

So anyway... during a conversation earlier today my mother claimed she listened to the radio and someone there apparently talked about how "people with autism" (I hate that phrase so much) dislike the music they play in shopping malls. It kind of annoyed me because I had told her I hate that exact thing for years and she once again cared more about what some random person on the radio said than what I do (the thing she said was addressed at me).

So anyway, the reason I'm posting about that was her response. She basically responded she was hoping I finally... "stopped" being autistic. Yeah.

Now, I'm used to that kind of language being used by her. Before I was basically pushed back into the closet she had used that kind of language about me being trans before. But I had not heard her directly say that about my autism, which I do have a formal diagnosis for.

Again, I... don't know if I just wanted to rant or what I even expect from this, I... just kind of wanted to share this. And I want to hear if others may have had similar experiences.
