Besides the difficulties interpreting nonverbal cues, this must be due to impaired theory of mind. Do people without ASD "imagine" what the other person is thinking, while they are having a conversation? I admit, I never do this.

I can't tell you what normal people think...I thinks it's just natural for them. I have psychosis which comes with its own set of problems reading people that's why I basically have all these rules in my head. I can tell when someone is bored visually but not for a couple of hours after the conversation when my brain finally processes all the small details you don't really see. My main indicator is when they stop asking questions or get up from sitting down or start putting space between us I'm usually aware that something has changed and they are just done. Anyway I definitely don't imagine what the other person is thinking I just sense the change and if they're not smiling assume its for the worse.
