Eye contact

Ava

I was told off for not giving eye contact about 16years ago and I give long constant eye mainly now.

i feel because I give constant eye contact that others who are autistic may not and that this means I’m not autistic.

but I am autistic.

im confused about what others think and I mean yourselves who will know if this is unusual?

Do you give constant eye contact?

  • The distance I am from the person plays a big part, up close it’s almost impossible to maintain any form of eye contact, I have to look away…from a distance it can be easier, though still troublesome. I often find myself looking at the teeth and their mouth. With my partner however, I can look her straight in the eyes and not feel too bothered. I feel safe with her.
