I am able to communicate pretty well with my dad and extremely well with my cousin who's like my brother. But not really with the rest of the family. But they all treat me alright. But I always feel like I'm outside of the loop. Not a whole lot of communication goes on between me and them.
I'm 39 but I certainly felt like this at 14 and still do, tbh. Except I communicate well with my mum, not my dad. I have 3 older brothers and there is only one who I can talk to fairly easily - to say we're close would be a gross exaggeration though, especially as I very rarely see him since he moved up north a few years ago.

I can go to family parties, but Im not too comfortable around them, I can't talk to them too good. I don't know why, I think it is my Asperger. My mom use to force me to go. I had a very big family.
Yeah, same. Can't really hold a conversation with any of my cousins, it soon peters out.
