As a child he had been “completely fearless” and unable to grasp the consequences of his actions, sometimes jumping into the path of traffic or even starting fires in the house, she added.
Mrs Cleary revealed that Ryan had threatened to slit his wrists when she attempted to stop him accessing the internet and believe it was real as he had attempted to take his life before..
She said had not been outside since Christmas and was concerned how he would be coping. She said she could not believe he was a criminal mastermind.
Mrs Cleary, who has bipolar disorder, spoke to the Daily Mail, as her son was charged with carrying out a series of hacks.
“I might have been able to do more to protect my baby,” she said.
The teenager is due in court accused of accused of attacking the website of the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca).
Mr Cleary has also been charged with bringing down the websites of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), in November last year, and the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in October last year.
His comments came as a friend told the The Sun how the teenager used to inhale lighter fuel.
The teenager’s 22-year-old half brother, Mitchell, added: “He’s not some kind of criminal mastermind ... he’s just a boy.”
It is understood that US investigators are looking into whether Mr Cleary may have been involved in activities in America including a cyber attack on Facebook.
FBI investigators who had been tracking the activities of LulzSec, the international hacking ring, are investigating whether Mr Cleary might have targeted the social networking site which has 500 million users around the world.
They are also looking into suspected attacks on the computer systems of the CIA, the US Senate and Sony.
Mr Cleary is charged with a string of cyber attacks on UK-based websites, but police sources said the investigation into attacks on foreign networks was “ongoing”.
Facebook refused to be drawn on whether anyone had managed to hack into its website or access any of its users’ profiles, many of which contain private information which can only be seen by selected friends.
A spokesman for the California-based firm said it had a regular “dialogue” with the FBI but “would not comment on individual cases”.
Asked whether Facebook had been successfully hacked by anyone, the spokesman said: “We just don’t comment on things like this and we don’t go into details.”
The multi-billion dollar social networking site has had to increase security recently to deal with an increasing number of attempted attacks by hackers.
Even if Mr Cleary is tried and convicted of crimes in the UK, he could still face extradition to the US, as the FBI, which was the driving force behind his arrest, want to question him themselves.
His mother has said that, given his vulnerable state, any attempt to extradite him to the US would be like “putting a noose around his neck”.
The case has parallels with that of Gary McKinnon, the Asperger’s sufferer who has been fighting extradition to the US for six years accused of hacking into the Pentagon IT systems.
Karen Todner, Mr McKinnon’s solicitor, said she hoped the Foreign Office would have “learned lessons” from her client’s case, and that Mr Cleary would be dealt with in the UK.
Anil Rajani, an extradition law expert at IBB Solicitors, said Mr Cleary, would have a strong case for fighting extradition on human rights grounds.
“There would appear to be medical grounds for an appeal against any attempt to extradite him.
“His age and his human rights under the European Convention would also be part of the argument.”
Mr Cleary was arrested at his family home on Monday in a joint operation by Scotland Yard and the FBI.
He will appear before Westminster Magistrates Court later.

Patel guides Notts to the summit - ECB
Watch highlights from Hove as Nottinghamshire clinch victory over Sussex
Nottinghamshire moved top of the LV= County Championship Division One table by completing a seven-wicket win over Sussex at the PROBIZ County Ground.
They lead Warwickshire by a single point after wrapping up victory on the final day, although their main rivals do have a game in hand.
Chasing a target of 145 after Sussex had been bowled out for a second-innings 263 on the stroke of lunch, Notts endured a few scares along the way before completing their first championship win at Hove since 1983.
Riki Wessels, whose first-innings 199 helped put his side in control, adopted a positive approach at the start before he came down the pitch to off-spinner Chris Nash and picked out Murray Goodwin on the midwicket boundary, having hit six fours in his 30.
Fellow opener Alex Hales became Sussex captain Michael Yardy's first four-day victim since September 2009 when he edged to slip with the score on 59 and Nottinghamshire still needed 45 runs when Monty Panesar won a leg-before verdict against left-hander Michael Lumb with a ball that kept low.
Samit Patel struck an unbeaten 50 as Nottinghamshire continued their fine start to the season with a comfortable victory over Sussex
But on a cracked, dry pitch offering the bowlers plenty of assistance Sussex just did not have enough runs to defend.
Samit Patel, dropped in the same Naveed Arif Gondal over by wicketkeeper Ben Brown and then Yardy, hit his sixth four to secure victory and reach an 88-ball fifty. He added an unbeaten 57 for the fourth wicket with James Taylor.
Earlier, Sussex had lost their last six wickets in the morning session for 57 runs including a spell of four for 20 in seven overs to undermine their hopes of posting a more testing target.
Luke Wright reached his second half-century of the match, adding 107 for the fifth wicket with Goodwin, before he was well taken by the diving Chris Read after aiming a loose drive at Andre Adams.
The New Zealand seamer also picked up the key wicket of Goodwin two overs later when the right-hander, whose 74 from 170 balls was his highest score of the season, clipped a length ball straight to midwicket.
At the other end, Patel picked up Brown and Steve Magoffin as he got deliveries to turn and bounce out of the cracks.
James Anyon and Naveed added 32 for the ninth wicket to give Sussex some hope and the visitors needed to take the second new ball to wrap things up as Naveed drove to point off Andy Carter and Panesar edged to Read to give Harry Gurney his first success of the innings.
