My mom embarrasses me a lot. She has this habit of telling everyone that I have autism. I mean, I can understand if I'm having one of my episodes, yes. But it's to the point where I'm not and she has to mention it. There are times when like... my dad doesn't pay say the internet bill or satellite bill that my mom will call them up and explain that she has an autistic child (I know, she calls me a child because I am mentally a child) who can't live without these things.
We actually got a free month of Netflix because she explained that I had autism. I'm not really big on using the autism card, but in some cases, it does come in handy when it's to avoid a meltdown or outburst from occurring too.
Anyway, my dad hardly embarrasses me. It's usually my mom that does, and it drives me up the wall. My mom also annoys me because she is always bugging me when I'm in the middle of something too. She'll tell me to do something while I'm in the middle of whatever I'm doing, and it bothers me because my attention is focused on that one thing I'm trying to do. Other times, she'll talk to me and I'll be doing something. I'll show her how annoyed I am, and she either gets angry or simply ignores the fact that I'm annoyed and having her affect my current focus on what I'm doing.
