Yeah, it would be hard if I can't lip-read what they're saying if they can't look at me, so I can see their lips or they talk too fast. I know of one high-functioning autistic kid and I can't understand what he's saying even though he looks at me when he speaks to me. I wish I could have a conversation with him. He's a foster kid of a couple of friends of mine. When he talks to me, I kind of look like I'm interested in what he's saying. So, I don't know what to do about that.... But, then, he goes off to do whatever he's doing.
