| Inappropriate facial expression is a diagnostic point, according to Tony Attwood. I wonder if that's why some aspies get jumped on so hard by their bosses. The voice says, "Roger, wilco." but the face doesn't, so the boss keeps trying harder and harder to get the look of compliance. Both people get... |

As an adult however, it's too hard to tell. Thanks :wink: Think you mean the verbal IQ or espresso o... |
