I'm not even autistic, and I'm also stuggling to keep in touch with my parents because we never talked, on the account of both of them being programmers.

It's not that we don't have a good relationship, or don't want to keep in touch, it's just that we never really talked, all spending our time at our PCs most of my childhood, and now I simply struggle to keep in touch with anyone, even with people I want to be in contact with. I never had to message or call someone, and I'm too anxious to do that, so I simply never do it, unless someone contacts me first.

It sucks, but I'm slowly learning to break out of that. Still, I see my parents only like twice a year, since christmass and birthdays are the only time they contact me.
