I actually have bipolar disorder as well as Asperger's, so this is something that has come up for me too. I got into the best high school in Melbourne with top marks and had to quit a year into it because I was simply no longer able to maintain a 'normal' lifestyle like that and could no longer concentrate on work at all. I went from straight As to failing everything, completely destroyed my social life, and also came within half an inch of successful suicide.
Interacting with people online can really be devastating to your self-esteem sometimes, I know this first-hand. That is exactly why most of the Respawners do not take things online very seriously and, to be perfectly honest, usually make fun of people who do. This is true of most of the major forums, too. I can't just tell you to stop taking things seriously, but if peoples' comments are upsetting you, there's nothing in the world that's preventing you from simply walking away from them. When you meet people in real life they tend to be very different.
And there is light at the end of the tunnel. I found a medication that works for me, found a lifestyle that works for me, and found a peer group that works for me - all at once. And that was good. Even now I sometimes have trouble looking at peoples' faces or remembering them, or doing absolutely basic math, and occasionally get upset enough to genuinely want to jump off a bridge. But things sometimes come together unexpectedly and even when you're trying to put together things that didn't work on their own, sometimes the combination of things magically gives you a normal life. And I've got an almost-normal one, so it's possible.
Also best wishes to your mum.
