Maybe she's getting depressed?

Sounds like an onset of depression to me as well. Cut her a little bit of slack and be patient with her. Communicate. Try to find out why she's being so needy with you specifically lately and help her work out ways she can resolve this, maybe nudge her into finding other people that she can indulge in vidya and car sperging with.

It could be.
I want to help her but I have little time between my daughter and my stepdad.
I've already tried talking with her and reaching out, but she just spazs or changes topic.
I'll think up something to get her to open up, but if that fails I'll have to let it go.
Call me an asshole but I have a baby and a cancer patient to take care of, so while I want to help her and be patient she needs to accept my help and make an effort too. You can't help someone who doesn't want help.

I just recalled an autistic incident from my middle school days when The Sixth Sense had recently came out on video (holy fuck I am old) when I was in either the 5th or 6th grade. Although I did not get the chance to see it in theaters, my friend had told me about the "insane plot twist at the end" without spoiling it for me.
Cue to a random day at school when my class was corralled in the library for some reason, probably to do research on some assignment. Anyway towards the end of the period everyone was lined up and waiting to be escorted back to my homeroom when this kid Dan was talking very loudly to some other kid further up in the line, and he asked him if he had seen The Sixth Sense yet, and in an extremely autistic lack of self awareness and consideration for others this fucking idiot belted out "Yeah Bruce Willis was dead the entire movie! Wasn't that insane!?". This fucking sperg spoiled the whole movie in front my entire class. Needless I still enjoyed the movie despite having the ending ruined for me.
Another spergy thing he did happened on Halloween that year when we had some guy walking from class to class wearing some sort of "Scream" mask with a black hood that had this outer plastic case on the mask that made fake blood run down it when you squeezed this little hand pump with a tube that ran up the arm that you would hide by wearing sleeves.
Well anyway said guy was doing a little Halloween prank (I had no idea who TF this guy was, if he was a teacher, janitor or some faculty staff) but he knocked on our door and as soon as he entered the room with fake blood gushing down his face, Dan had an autistic freakout and jumped out of his seat and ran behind some other kid's desk at the back of the room and he was the only one in the class who did that.

Don't know if this one's autism, shitty parenting, or both.
2006 or so, I had just started working as a stocker at a local grocery store. Maybe a week in, I'm doing my usual job when I hear a little voice repeating "azz crack out, azz crack out, azz crack out". I look, and it's a maybe four year old black girl sitting in a shopping cart, staring at me with these dead blank eyes, just repeating this mantra over and over.
Guessing the "mother" was either trying to ignore her or flat out didn't care. More than likely, the latter.

Double post, fuck it.
Same week, this one woman manages to shatter a jar of pickle relish on the floor. She's staring at me with a look on her face I still remember clearly. Half lidded stare, mouth slightly agape, multiple teeth visibly missing, some sort of pinkish-reddish rash on her cheeks. Don't remember if she was drooling, but that's not outside the realm of possibility.
If you looked up the word "inbred" in the dictionary, this would be the image next to it.
So I start cleaning up this stinking mess, she hasn't moved an inch, and now her husband/cousin/whatever is staring at me with the exact same look. A minute or so after I finish, they seem to snap out of whatever trance they were in and leave, seemingly satisfied.
It's been fifteen years and I still have no idea.

You work retail long enough you start to view all customers this way. I’ve been out of retail for about 12 years now but I have my share of stories as well. I swear it seems people immediately lose 50 IQ points once they step through the doors.
On topic: hanging out with my brother and a mutual friend earlier today. The friend is a nice enough guy but he’s one of those friends you can only be around for small doses before getting annoyed. He kept making your mom jokes today, which can be funny once or twice but because my brother and I chuckled a bit at the first one he just kept going on and on with them. He made a your mom joke about slamming it to her, I came back with “sorry your girlfriend is such a lousy fuck you’re fantasizing about a 61 year old woman” and he immediately goes into a sulky, pouting temper tantrum and refuses to talk to either of us the rest of the time except in monosyllabic grunts.
don’t dish it out if you can’t take it, autist.

There was this one retard who I went to highschool with before the pandemic started, he was a huge fucker and had high-functioning autism from what I can tell, to the point where he's in his late 20's yet still has to go through toddler stage education. He's also really fucking annoying so there's that.

I dunno if this was autism or just extreme shame/embarrassment, but ahead of the checkout at the Wall of Marts, was this shaky 80+ year old woman, and she had all her items in two zipped-up Walmart cooler bags. She had the cashier scan the items without getting them out of the bags, although I was close enough to see at least a corner of a package of adult undergarments.
It's like, Karen, nobody gives a fuck if you're buying Depends. Holy shit.

As previously stated, having gone to a state school I have quite a few brushes with IRL Autism.
There was this paraplegic girl, S., bound to a wheelchair in my year. I'm not entirely sure if she had genuine, diagnosed autism, or was just so poorly socialised because she was used to being spoiled and babied by teachers and her parents due to her physical disability. Either way, she was very unusual.
S. had achieved some minor milestone for wheelchair racing and wanted to become a paraolympian. This was a fact she constantly reminded us of both directly, and because it was often bought up by teaching assistants and school administrators in some ill-conceived attempt to get us to sympathise with her.
Meanwhile, S. would do things like frame peers for calling her a 'spaz', mocking her disability and secretly snake to the Head of Year or Principals office with a list of all the students who had wronged her. These complaints were always taken at face value and resulted in punishment, something she took great joy in.
However, the most memorable incident with S. occurred during drama/acting class. The drama studios at our school had no seating, and we often started lessons by sitting cross-legged on the floor watching a clip of the film/production we would be using as inspiration that lesson. She would park herself in amongst us. This one day during the film, S. lets out a roaring fart in the middle of the crowd... Of course, we're all at almost face-to-ass level to her since she's raised on a chair and the rest of us are on the floor, so the smell was quite remarkable too. I'm convinced she shat her pants. S. bites her lip and snorts, stifling back her laughter. She then immediately pulls on the most emotionless, ambivalent face I've ever seen, turns to her left and looks another kid straight in the eyes and asks: "Was that you?".
We were all 15 at the time.

The most autistic thing ever - "The Game". I've never seen people act so retarded when that was a thing. I remember being at an event in high school one day, and some dipshit yelled out, "I have an announcement... THE GAME!" and a bunch of autists started chimping out.
What the fuck even was that shit. Was it supposed to be funny?

Just the other day at work this old man came up to me and asked me if we sold these disposable syringe looking things and he had a picture of one on the Amazon app. Really made me wonder why he didn't just buy the damn thing on Amazon instead of driving to the store to look for something he didn't even know if we had it in stock or not.
I have an interview for a delivery driver job on Thursday and I cannot wait to get the fuck out of here.
