Isnt this the oedipal phase? Combined with teenage phase of hating the parents.
So - she doesnt want to hear bad news from you, like no school.

Glad your mother backed off some after that. D has asked before how long I have to live here.
Yeah, I think it's a complicated mix of teenage hormones plus autism plus some intellectual disability. And in this case, it's sort of the "shoot the messenger" in terms of bad news. I don't want it to snow either! I'm very done with this winter.
I wonder, too, if it's because she feels "safer" with me, like I'm much less likely to yell at her vs. H (I do yell on occasion when she's clearly intentionally defying me when I told her to not do something--like I say "Stop doing [unsafe thing]," she looks at me, keeps doing it, and laughs). So she can act out with me.
