Did anyone hear Libby Purves on Radio 4 last week, interviewing a body language expert? She said maybe he had a 'touch of autism' because he was able to analyse people's non-verbal communication so well.

This seemed a bit odd to me, because isn't non-verbal communication one of the key things that people with autism CANNOT interpret? Oh well - You & Yours have had some interesting features, pity the rest of Radio 4 aren't keeping up.
