Rock says he does not pick up on non-verbal social cues: 'All I understand are the words.' (via toofab)
For one thing, he finally decided to learn how to swim, which went -- well, according to Rock,"Do you know how f--king hard it is for a grown-up to learn how to swim? You’ve got to not be scared to die."
But the experience, it turns out, was eye-opening in more ways than just learning how not to drown in his very own pool. "The other day, this guy says to me, 'OK, you’re going to dive into the deep end and swim to the other side,' and I’m like, 'Are you fucking crazy?'" Rock said."But then I dove into the deep end and I swam to the other side, and it’s a metaphor for what I’ve been trying to do during this time."
It didn't stop there, though, as Rock took seriously a friend's suggestion that he may have Asperger's to get himself tested. There, he found that he instead has nonverbal learning disorder , which means he doesn't pick up on non-verbal cues in communication.
