My Story (2)

[Sunflyer]

Another question, if anyone wants to interject (also welcome continuing advice on holiday plans):

S17 has been with his GF for a few months now. Their relationship is exclusive and serious at this point.

I like his girlfriend. She is generally nice, BUT I find it hard to form a relationship with her.

W has informed me (via son's GF's mother) that she is a high-functioning autistic. Intellectually, she functions fine, but she is extremely quiet. Quiet as in, when she comes into the house I don't even know she is there half the time. Quiet as in, when she sees me, she looks right through me as if I am not there. She does not initiate greeting. I feel she is not comfortable with me. And I thought I was introverted. She is my level of quiet times two.

W and MIL resent that I don't have a relationship with her. I want to remedy this mainly for my son's sake rather than theirs, since I value my relationship with him most highly.

Anyone else have a child's SO that is hard to break the ice with?
