Need a list of Aspie traits for GP appointment

I believe my mum is on the spectrum, at the moment I haven't spoken to her since last time I physically visited her, back in August. She is so absorbed in her special interests that she 'doesn't have time' to speak to me or my sisters. Sadly she always overcompensated with alcohol and got my dad into drinking as well, so they have both been 'high functioning' alcoholics since the late 1960s. My dad recently admitted he is an alcoholic and tried to quit, but my mum will never admit it.
That's so sad. My Mum is difficult but at least she tries. I hope you can one day get through to her. When I get sad I hug my dogs they never say anything hurtful except when I don't take them for a walk. [emoji4]
