Understanding Autism and Eye Contact: An Autistic's Perspective Mastering Conversation with the Balance of Eye Contact Eye contact can feel natural to some, but overwhelming (or frankly intimidating) to othersâespecially for us Autistics. In this reel, I share an Autistic's firsthand perspective on eye contact, why itâs not always a measure of engagement, and how to master conversations with a balance of eye contact and looking away. True connection goes beyond eye contact, a misconception that hopefully I broke. Please feel free to add your own answer to the question, "Why do Autistics have poor eye contact?" in the comments section, in order to help further spread awareness and spark meaningful discussions. Your voice matters as much as mine! (This reel is a highlighted segment of a YouTube video that I previously uploaded called, "Why Do Autistics Seem to Have Poor Eye-Contact?".) If you want, please head over to my YouTube channel, TikTok, and/or Facebook page for daily reels/shorts about Autism/Disability Awareness, Acceptance, and Inclusionâas well as motivation, encouragement, and much more. If you feel led, please share with others.
