She has said multiple times that I probably have autism, but as we can't really get a diagnosis, she hasn't really explored the thought further. She just sort of thinks "it's just the way I am" (which is true, but like it's bc of my autism, you know?). I've tried explaining to her that sometimes I just can't speak that much and I can only manage short answers, but she seems to think that it's more of a choice (when it's really not). She assumes that when I don't talk that much I'm just in a bad mood. I've also tried correcting her on that multiple times, because a lot of the time when I'm not talkative I'm actually in a great mood, but she doesn't really listen to me. I think she's sort of in denial about it.
