Language

It's interesting, sometimes, studying a person's body language. (I think it's a habit I've picked up from reading too many Desmond Morris books through the years.) People with Asperger Syndrome aren't supposed to be good at that (I've never been formally diagnosed, but my son has, and I have good reason to suspect it in myself), but it's never been a problem for me.

Today, I the spent time while waiting watching a woman who holds an important position, work that requires someone who is intelligent, confident and forceful. Yet her mannerisms, and the hesitation in her voice seemed to betrayed her. It's almost as if she were a child dressing in her Mother's clothes, pretending at being an adult.
