Deeply upsetting social situations

It is deeply upsetting for me not to be able to communicate with my family. Now that I am so aware of Aspergers and it being one of the reasons for me feeling like an outsider in my family, it upsets me more so, that I can’t ever really connect with the people I should be able to such as immediate family. Today I saw my brother for first time in a year, and (as it usually does) it hit me that I’ve never really been able to hold a proper conversation for long with him. The way I describe to my family is like in my home, there’s is me —— and there is them. I am in my own world to them, always have been desperate from them.  From being very small it’s always been ‘can you snap out of that daydream I’m trying to talk to you’. The truth is I would very much like to do that now, maybe I don’t know how. I’m just so preoccupied in my head and can’t handle what’s actually going on around me. That’s the same with the rest of the world. It is deeply, deeply upsetting for me and I’ve been trying a lot recently to better this predicament that becomes more of a barrier as I get older. I have my first appointment with a voice coach this week. 

What are you experienced and methods?

Ps. i have a terrible skin allergy outbreak at the moment that has been made worse from me constantly thinking about it. Ah.
