this is an awful business, Rod

it doesn’t even make sense that they refuse to deal with people in writing.

I do not have autism, but for various reasons i some times find myself unable to speak at all. I am also not legally deaf, but after discussion with my psychologist, i signed up for the national relay service.
while i absolutely agree with you it is shameful the various ways government departments now ignore people, i hope you consider using the national relay service.

there are various options, depending on your needs, including a facility that allows you to deal with the relay service using text messages on your phone. this means you do not need to sign up for special equipment used by people in the deaf community.

A few pro tips:
- Use the 70/30 rule. Put 70% of your attention on reading the other person’s cues. Keep 30% on your own message. This balance helps you stay perceptive.
- Triangulate if you are in doubt. Watch how they interact with a third person in the room. It often reveals their true stance.

Could your walk be a signal about your ability to win a fight? | The-14

Your walk may reveal strength and dominance. Research shows people can sense a man’s potential to win a fight just by the way he moves.

Avoid common mistakes. Crossed arms aren’t always defensive; sometimes people are just comfortable. And don’t ignore the environment. Stress can change how people behave.

Watch for micro-expressions. These quick, involuntary facial flashes can show you how someone really feels—if you’re paying close attention.
