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? :-(

    I have incredibly realistic dreams, and these store themselves in my brain in such a way as it can be difficult to distinguish from reality. This did have affects on my life as well, in one case I was certain I had completed homework when I had in fact not. 

    This may be something that is happening? Or may not
