I don't know how much of this is true and how much isn't (or is regional, or is out-of-date), because I'm not good at understanding social cues myself, but it's fascinating to look at. I'm going to be watching people in public now to see if these things are true.

Looking at guides meant for non-natives might be a good way for Aspies to learn some of the social things that we don't get on our own.

I read them and I read some of the others. Now I want to know how French people get medicine. They say we get ours in orange bottles, carefully prepared "like in the movies" so I'm curious about how they get thiers.
