    I've yet to meet anyone born after about 1990 who uses a cellphone in moderation :rotfl:

    You haven't met my youngest son! He rarely uses his, it literally is only ever used in an emergency or for the Internet data when he is away from the house to tether to his mac.

    He gets it out, polishes it but use it for calls, texts, snap chatting, browsing? Hmmm nope.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    What is the relevance of them being trilingual? Presumably it's a multi-language household and the children will have acquired those languages by being immersed in them in the home environment.

    OP thinks children who use tablets etc are only able to communicate via grunting, therefore pointing out language usage is very relevant.
