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?

  • I give some eye contact to my beloved ones, i like studying the shape of my husbands eyes, but I usually do it when he is not looking back. Sometimes I give some eye contact to show the person, that I talk to them (if i approached them for some reason) and then look away or i remind myself to look from time to time into my partners eyes. Otherwise I concentrate on the conversation while staring blankly into some point in space, that is often somehow intriguing. Eye contact feels too close to me, in some cases even like someone penetrative my soul. Its hard to describe it, its not just anxious,  it's something else and deeper for me. Recently I spoke to a lady receptionist, she had a little star tattooed on her cheek. I really couldn't understand what she talked to me. This star on her cheek got my whole attention.
