    I have autism and probably ADHD, eating without something else to stimulate me is absolute misery and if you tell me to put away my phone i’m going to start avoiding eating with you.

        Not in my experience, my boomer dad doesn’t exactly have much in commin with me, he wants to talk about sports and i want to talk about technology.

        We just both pull out our phones and appreciate the presence of the other, you don’t have to talk to people to be social.

      I take observing the ambient isn’t enough stimulation in that case?
