[quote=Anonymous]OP this could be my DH minus the actual diagnosis. Phones certainly don't help - they allow someone to really check out completely. But even before that - I was really shocked eating meals with his family. Mine are talkers, we have conversations about current events, books and movies, extended family gossip, politics, whatever. His are silent. Meals are silent and so are just hours that pass at their home, besides TV. He really just didn't grow up conversing. It was crazy to me at the time because we were friends and he seemed extroverted and in social settings with friends he could talk for hours. He's still okay in most social settings like kids school and neighborhood parents, etc.

It's really home that's noticeable. We have very few real conversations (besides logistics stuff) and same re kids (beyond their needs).

I like the PP family that plays cards. Maybe other ways to interact and bond could be more fruitful. To that PP - what card games do you play with your kids / what ages?[/quote]
