Ah, I come at it from a slightly different direction. I'm somewhere on the other side of the dividing line between Autism Spectrum and Neuro Typical from you. My early childhood was similarly filled with incomprehension of other children's actions but I was able to learn body language earlier then you. I learned it and other social skills a lot later then most children did which pegged me as a social outcast in school and that did not change till sometime in high school, and then only in a small way. I also acted as an observer of humans and their social interactions. Social anthropology is a fun topic. If I were good at picking up languages I might have done that instead of physics. It was not till college that I felt at all skilled in normal social interactions. My experiences I believe matches that of many "geeks and science nerds". :) It was a painful childhood in some ways but I would not trade my logic and math skill for all the popularity in the world. *grin*
