Please ask for clarification if any of my points are iffy; this is a topic on which I have trouble being clear to neurotypicals.

I have high-functioning autism and my mother (who was my primary caregiver throughout my life) actually saw this fight as some proof Kristina doesn't really fully comprehend Max's condition yet. High-functioning autism is a development disability that affects social situations, and that isn't limited to "people outside of your family." Though speaking as someone with HFA I can tell you that it's easier to deal with family because they understand it better, take the usual "I don't understand why my family is so WEIRD and doesn't UNDERSTAND MY SPECIALNESS" of teenagerdom and add in a GIGANTIC blind spot for stuff like "why is my mother making me do this thing that makes me deeply uncomfortable?" and it becomes less of a question of why he reacted the way he did.

"It's easy dealing with autistic teenagers, no matter how high-functioning they are," no one said ever.

Just affirming your comment. I agree with all of this.
