What the average person knows or learns instinctively, the autistic person must learn through study or miss out on a world of human interaction. Some aspects of non-verbal communication are so vital that unless a person with autism can imitate them with some degree of accuracy, he or she will encounter severe difficulties - in getting a job, workplace advancement, courting a mate, and maintaining relationships. The book that changed my life and finally put all of the human behaviors I was trying to mimic into perspective is Peoplewatching by Desmond Morris.
