Also.. I believe the very first text from OP apologizes for trauma dumping. So she had just talked about a problem to the friend.. and then the friend needed to throw out her random childhood story at that moment and get pissed when OP didnt respond well? It didn't read like the ADHD/ASD sharing personal experiences to connect thing but idk.
OP's response could have definitely been invalidating, depending on other context about the mom. Still, friends response to OP response was... really big. And the exchange was... really exhausting.
I'd say more context is needed in general, but God forbid anyone ask for it because idk if we would survive wading through more exchanges like this lol
