Going on a date with a guy, we're going to the cinema. is it weird my mum doesn't want me going to McDonalds with him and wants him in the car?

My mum said right out the cinema (it's at a retail park, so there's lots of shops and it's very busy) I need to join her in the car where she'll drive to McDonalds a literal minute away, and then we'll eat in the car and she'll drop him off. She's autistic and has a hyper fixation on true crime podcasts.

Is this awkward/her treating me like I'm a teenager? I'm 32 years old.
