I disagree, it's not gaslighting, they are teasing him because they think he is making it up. However the kids do gaslight mom to hide ET and to disguise him so they can get him out of the house.

Elliott says ET is male, but the latter never confirms or denies this, and we have no clue whether ET’s species even has sexual dimorphism.
