A quote from an excerpt from Temple Grandin's new book

"I find the same inability to think about children’s strengths in their parents. I’ll say, “What does your kid like? What is your kid good at?” and I can see the confusion in their faces."

Temple Grandin can see the confusion in their faces? Are autistic people supposed to be able to do that?
