False memories

NAS93107

Hi. I'm new. I'm the parent of an adult son with ASD. 

We have a great relationship and always have. However, lately he has started making comments about memories of things that just didn't happen the way he sees them. In some cases they didn't happen at all. 

These comments are hurtful especially as I'm his main emotional support. My question is ,is this an autistic trait? If so,how do I handle it? How do I stop myself feeling so sad and frustrated by it? 

Currently I'm not saying anything but these comments are incredibly hurtful. Do I gently correct him or do I let it go? :-(

  • Do you have any examples?

    I will admit myself that I can slightly fabricate things when my emotions are high and I'm upset/angry with someone.

    I might say that someone who I've fallen out with wishes I was dead - I know that's not true but when I'm upset and angry, I'd come out with something like that.
