foreign language

On the NAS site its says:

'If you have Asperger syndrome, understanding conversation is like trying to understand a foreign language'.

I am not all together sure what this actually means. Is it that true for all Aspies? Understanding a foreign language is impossible if you do not know it. Would that not mean that communication is impossible?

Any thoughts?

    @Temple Grandin,

    If you find it hard explaining sometimes it might be easier to write it down or email it them, then speak to them.

    That way they have got all the main points first.

    I know that this isn't practicle in many situations.

    And it can still all go wrong. Especially if they then give answers you havn't anticipated. Wink

    thank you for your help.
