She is 17, not a young child. We have been going over this for over a decade and it really comes down to her refusing to acknowledge things are not always exactly literal. We have gone over this with a therapist for over 5 years as well, because she gets so worked up about it. I have repeatedly shown her what clean means in various examples but she keeps falling back to specific nit picking every time.
Note thst I am not referring to some kind of spotless perfection. Just not having trash around and things tidy enough to vacuum and dust and other basic cleaning practices.
Guess I should have given every single detail so you wouldn't assume so much to twist it into some kind of blame game for a child not listening to their parent.
she's not a child at 17. the fact you think she is might be why she is so incapable of adult functioning.
She is autistic you judgemental fuck.
cool, guess she can live with you forever then.
I called her my kiddo, you used child because you assumed an age. You assume a lot of shit that isn’t accurate and have painted a completely different situation than what I wrote.
It will take a few more years for her to catch up with everyone else but we are working on it. Lack of success doesn't indicate lack of effort or understanding.
You are clearly a terrible person.
