It can also depend on the person ND or not. Im not diagnosed with autism but i never have stopped liking someone bc we didnt talk in a while… i do have social anxiety and i dont talk to my friends every day or can go long time between ever talking to them, but i still like them the same im just not very talkative… I only worry about what if THEY dont feel that way one day and what if theyre upset at me for not talking to them, or what if they never wanna talk to me again because is been so long but no one got upset.
I agree. if a NT tries to blow you off because of time alone, it’s not because of time alone. it’s likely that they let the friendship fade on purpose because it wasn’t comfortable or enjoyable for them anymore. NTs who are good friends can pick up after multiple years and it’s like no time has passed.
Maybe I’m ND, but I always called them real friends and fake ones. The real ones always pick right up where they left off.

Yeah some relationships seem to be able to cope with long periods of absence, others not so much
