Hi,
I Wasn’t really sure which section to pop this in but here we go…
My mum, who is 60 has many things about her, we’ve never been especially close, but I’d love to get to the bottom of what is up with her.
One thing she does that particularly bothers is me is she doesn’t hear what people are saying to her, but not in a hearing problem way.
For example, last night on FaceTime my DS was jumping around telling her that he was a frog - she just couldn’t acknowledge what he was saying, she just kept waving and saying hiiii! In a way that you would to a baby. I asked her to acknowledge him 3x but she never did, she just answers “yeah” as if she’s agreeing with me.
Later I ask how my sister was as she’s seen her for lunch earlier in the day, she answered that she (my mum) wasn’t working today, “ok, but I asked how B was?” she then answered “yeah, I’m working on Thursday”.
This is just an example of many many many times this happened, I barely reach out to her because I get so frustrated to be honest.
We've suspected she maybe has autism and/or adhd. But would love to know if anyone has experience with something similar to this?
TIA!!
