I'm actually looking for more examples as I want to change my behavior to NT behavior.
I know I confuse people when they speak to me, because I nod or shake my head according to whether I understand and not according to whether I agree - one frustrated lecturer told me I "lie with my nods" during an oral examination. Sometimes people will be explaining something that I passionately disagree with, nodding as long as they make sense, then they get completely shocked when I speak my mind.
I don't want to change my behaviour to be an NT, but I do want to communicate better, which includes not getting beaten up when people think I tricked them into revealing something compromising. Now I talk more, so they can make their own mind up about the dissonance between my body language and verbal language before they embarrass themselves.
