[quote=Anonymous]Now that your kids are older what are their social experiences like? Are they asking to invite friends over? Do they get invited to friends houses?

If not, it's possible that you all have some neurodivergence traits that make socializing in a neurotyipcal world more challenging.

I have ADHD and am very introverted. I have always had friends am surface-level friendly but can only handle a small circle of 2-3 friends at a time. Everyone else is a friendly acquaintance. My DH is very extroverted and one of the reasons I married him was that I knew that polar opposition btwn us would probably balance us well over the long term. But if everyone in your house is operating on the same social wavelength you'll have to proactively learn to understand yourselves better to figure out what you need to do to meet others on their terms--or to meeet like-minded individuals and families.

I'm not saying you need to change--just to understand why you all operate the way that you do. To be honest I think a therapist or counselor would be helpful here. [/quote]
