Difficulty communicating with family ?

Hi, 

So I know with the spectrum we have different levels of difficulty with talking to new people and forming friends etc.

However I'm wondering if anyone has difficulty with talking to their family just as general day day to bases? I feel I've gotten worse as I've gotten older.

I enjoy talking to.my mum the most and then my nan. However I hardly speak to.my granddad anymore not because I don't want to but I just find him difficult to talk to now unlike when I was little. He also as a grandad likes to talk about random thing I admit I'm uninterested in or it just goes on for to long.

I also struggle to speak with my brother we hardly communicate but this has been since he was born as I just don't no what yo talk about or understand him especially.now he has become a teenager . 

Does anyone else have similar problems ? 

Parents
  • Yep....

    not spoken to my mum for the past three years

    not spoken to my sister for the past three years

    ditto my brother

    ermm...

    both paternal and maternal gradparents have passed away

    which......leaves my dad....who is also socially awkward.....and we struggle, but he gives it a go.....

    Typical conversation:

    dad: “are you ok?”

    me: “no, not really”

    dad: “oh,”
