I was thinking about when we helped Cooper move.
Ben and Bubba were talking about Bubba's sister moving someplace and i was sitting, facing away from them playing a game, and inquired where she was moving, they then proceeded to kid with me she was moving to alaska, and because i wasn't looking at them for facial cues or paying close enough attention (i was gaming) i believed them implicitly until they started laughing.
Thinking back I guess that must be what it's like to live with a form of Aspergers and i was incredibly frustrated with being unable to discern intent at the time.
Very interesting. I wonder if they've done experiments about non-aspergers sufferers given tasks to complete that take up the active thought processes that normally would be dedicated to interpersonal discourse and then forced them to try and discern truth from falsehood. I would love to proctor such a series of tests.
