When I talk about something i care about the answer I do not care to see a wobble head. Or to see a crude attempt at liftoff to fly as they flail their arms around. If it were just facial expressions and eyes you may have a point.
Are you telling me you could not understand what some one was saying if you were not looking at them? Or misunderstand the radio? I am just saying i am discriminated against because I do not care to watch people talk. If i listen to them talk and respond with a reasonable response to a question or statement, I deserve the same.
be some thing. I see people look at me, take their hands off the wheel, when they drive and talk. Almost get in an accident not paying attention to the road. People stop working when some one asks them a question. Just answer and keep working. No need to look away from your work.
And start with hand signals i cannot understand. How is this a good thing? I is counter productive and that cannot be denied. I see it as a flaw on others. These hand signals are random at best anyway. Has anyone described an object to you before. I bet you could not picture what they were trying to describe without the words. But i bet you could close your eyes and listen and understand. If they knew how to define it.
Like i said i can listen to a radio fine an get something and i miss nothing. I do not care how excited, happy or angry ect..They are about it. I just care about the facts. .a reply to: TrueBrit

I hate catching a bus or train and sitting in a seat facing other seats, and being 'forced' to stare into the faces of the people seated opposite.
What I find invariably is that I am constantly being stared at by this row of mugs, who show no discomfort in the situation.
I know now why people read newspapers on trains.
It gives your eyes somewhere to look other than the ground.

If even an autistic can register on the periphery what someone is doing with body cues, why can't roth1?

Indeed, and the answer to that question, from what I have read here, appears to be more to do with roth1's attitude than any underlying condition that the member might have.
