Should I talk to my mum again?

The problem is she always defends her aunt.
Since I told her aunt I have autism, every time my mum talks to her about someone or when something happens on the news, my mums aunt will immediately jump to the conclusion that this “good for nothing” person “must be autistic”. It hurts me, but how do I stop this stuff from irritating me. at this point it feels like she’s saying this stuff on purpose.,

I don’t know your family but when I’ve been in situations where someone said hurtful things towards me I confronted them and told them to piss off and then set boundaries with them

My mums aunt is in her 80s so maybe she holds some outdated stereotypical views. I wish I never told her, because now at every opportunity she will find a way to call some good for nothing person autistic. I feel she is trying to do this to get a rise out of me, but I won’t give her that.

your aunt sounds bad…just ignore her…my mom is elderly and says anything…it doesn’t mean anything as long as your mum doesn’t do it.
