Ok, my mom hates me playing world of warcraft... I've paid 6 months (its cheaper that way) in advance, which she ok'd... Now 1 month into it she wont let me play at all... She says it ruins me and its bad for me, and she wont refund me... Worst of all its also something that my friend and me love doing (whos another aspie). So I feel that this is going to ruin our friendship when its what started it. I mean I pay for it should I get to play it??? its my own money and let me spend it how I like. And its not like I spend endless hours on just like 2 a day when im not working, which im working most of the time.

She agreed, you paid.
She went back on the deal.
She is in the wrong.

Maybe you could talk to her and ask her why she thinks what she is thinking? Since you started playing are you spending less time doing things with your family that you normally did? Are your 2 hours really late and keeping you up? When you aren't playing is it all you are talking about? If it's all you are talking about she might think that that is all you care about anymore. Try to do the listen more and talk less thing when you spend time with your family.

Ask her what she thinks a good amount of time would be to spend on an activity and see if you can negotiate it back up to where you like it?

At least you aren't on it nonestop so that's good. Lot of people allow themselves to get addicted and don't know when to stop. You limit it to two hours which is good.

I agree it is a waste of money to pay for something and not use it.

How is it ruining you? How is it bad for you? If you are limiting your time and you actually made a friend from it, I don't really see the downside. Try to figure out why she thinks what she does and try to reason with her. Just be careful to ask in a mature fasion and actually listen to her answers, don't dismiss them. They are obviously real gripes for her no matter how stupid they may seem to you.

Good luck.
