I genuinely care about my friends and family, but I forget to stay in touch and it makes me feel awful.

I’ll go weeks or months without reaching out, not because I don’t care, but because once someone is out of sight they’re out of mind. Then I remember randomly, feel guilty, and put it off again.

I’ve tried reminders, calendars, notes but nothing really sticks long-term. It’s especially frustrating because I do want to maintain these relationships, it’s like my brain just doesn’t cooperate.

Recently I’ve found a mobile app that helps (after rummaging through the useless, overwhelming ones) but I’m curious does anyone else struggle with this? Have you found anything that actually helps, or is this just one of those autism things you learn to live with?

Edit: since a few people have reached out the app I use is called Kinly Connect

I recently made a post in this community about how ADHD has caused me to lose a lot of relationships over the years through forgetting to stay in touch, and a lot of you guys resonated with the post (145 upvotes!)

I also mentioned how I used an app to help me resolve this issue and whilst it wasn't perfect it definitely helped me keep some close relationships. Well funnily enough, the founder of the app reached out to me and said that he was happy seeing his app was a solution to my problem and wanted me to let people know he has made it free for people to try now to help solve the problem even more.

For anyone who upvoted or just seen the post and related the app is called Kinly Connect and I would recommend
