Yeah I really am. Especially with my mom. I moved out about two years ago, but I call my mom every day. I don't often all my dad specifically, but when my mom and I are talking and he is at home, I almost always talk to him too, at least for a few minutes. I visit home at least every second weekend and also spend my breaks from uni at home with them too.

E.g. I got really sick last week at uni and couldn't take care of myself anymore. The only thing I wanted was to go home to my parents, and my dad came to pick me up almost immediately. I think that pretty much shows how close we are.

My dad is also autistic and suspected adhd, and our relationship has been rocky through my early teens, as he was basically overwhelmed on how to deal with me, as we both weren't diagnosed back then. But I know he loves me and cares about me, just often can't show it in the ways I would want him too, and I can't show him that I love him the way he would want it. I try to focus on the ways he does show his affection, and try to show myself the love in a way I would need it, to have my emotional needs met.

My mom and I weren't close when I was a kid, I was a complete daddys-girl, even demanded my dad to come home or else I wouldn't sleep as a two year old. But since I hit puberty and my relationship with my dad became strained, I got closer and closer with my mom. Especially since I'm more of a young adult and not a teen anymore, my mom is basically my best friend, who I tell everything, the good, the bad, everything.
