Advise on having been discovered as a pagan

I am a 22 year old male pagan with very high functioning asperger's syndrome, who still lives at home. My mother recently found out that I am pagan, and insist that paganism is of the devil. She is a devout Methodist, and wants me to explore and fallow Christianity. Mainstream Christianity though does not register with me, and the more I explore it, the more I grow to dislike it.
I don't like many of the beliefs of Christianity including how one has to accept Jesus for salvation, or how the sacred feminine is absent. For me in my exploration of paganism and alternate spiritual paths, I feel a spiritual connection with Tantra, Druidism, Vanatru, and Wicca. My mother worries that I am going into my imagination when things get difficult, and I am isolating myself. I feel that I am not, and if I could there are pagan religious groups I could join in my area.
I am waiting till I move out on my own, before more fully exploring a pagan lifestyle, and am working towards my independence. But in the meanwhile I don't know how to explore, and hold on to my spiritual beliefs, when my mother is so bent on me becoming Christian and insisting that if I fallow Wicca or Druidism that I will be tempted by the devil.
I want to honor my mother, but also form my own identity. I am also admittedly lonely, and would like to join the larger pagan community if I could.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what I should do?
