I just feel like I'm at the end of my tether, due to my AS I can barely take care of myself let alone mum, I'm not equiped, I dont have the empathy skills to understand emotionally what she's going through, so I end up feeling like a selfish sociopath when I get frustrated with her and her confusion.
I also have AS, but I'm sure that people without it would feel the same way. I've read about similar situations. No one could really understand what it's like for her. You have every right to feel frustrated, because it's not fair that you have to deal with this, and then it's only natural to feel guilty about it. I think you're doing as well as anyone could.
As a aside, vending machines in a hospital really should say "have a nice day", given the 3 most likely users are either patients, relatives of patients, or those who work there, all of which probably wont "have a nice day"!

I wanted to say earlier, that's a good thought.
