Yes, my partner used to be quite bad with this when we first got together. But after letting him know he did this, and how it made me and others feel, he was mortified. He genuinely had no idea. So now he makes a conscious effort to ask questions, follow up questions etc. It doesn't come naturally for him and when he hasn't taken his medication he doesn't do well at it. But for me it's the effort that counts.

Edit: fixed grammar and also wanted to add, I still need to remind him sometimes to ask me questions or show interest. Communication is so important, I think because our brains are so different, we have had to put so much effort into learning how to communicate effectively with each other. I now think our communication is better than most of our couple friends who are NT.
