In New York it's not too difficult. Fidgitiness, twitchiness, rambling series of non sequiturs that make even my ADD brain rattle. Screaming at traffic and running on the margin one second and then asking me if I know that the archangel who visited Muhammed was actually a demon the next. (I'm not Muslim. The conversation wasn't addressed to anyone in the vehicle.)

Like, I guess I can't say they're taking too much of a substance. But if they aren't, they're taking too little.

That is just how a lot of people are. They could be on the spectrum. They could be talkative. You don’t know them. You have no baseline for their behavior.

Would you say the same if the claim was they were drunk?

Sure if there was no obvious physical impairment
