concentrate, understand nonverbal communication and tolerate the

Cooperating with other drivers involves perhaps the hardest task for
people with Asperger’s: reading nonverbal social cues. On the road, that
happens through the “gestures’’ drivers make through the motion of
their cars — by changing lanes boldly or hesitantly, for instance. Those
motions amount to signals flashed from driver to driver so routinely
that most people are hardly aware of the messages being sent about
intention or mood.cooperating with other drivers involves perhaps the hardest task for
