Im late diagnosed Audhd. I have to spend a lot of time with my Mum now, ive told her my diagnosis and tried to explain some things and she says she wants to understand but doesn't take any of it in. I think part of it is she doesn't want to acknowledge it because she sees it as a failing to her that I am it/she didn't help me as a child/she can't help me now.
She seems to have a lot of empathy for others but won't accept it with me. Is it that she's elderly and its simply too much for her to process now and I should just give up and bite my tongue when she comments on my behaviour? She does not have dementia or anything like that but also not quite her former self. Are there any concise books I could show her that may help her understand so we don't clash so much.
Thank you
