Which brother has autism?

Post Reply New Topic

Oh well i was wrong. I wonder what this challenge is trying to prove?

I have a feeling we're the subject of the experiment.

I thought it was the guy on the left when I looked at this the other day but now I'm not sure. I still voted for the guy on the left anyway. I have no idea what I'm basing it on though.

Now it's time to give the answer! It is the one on the left that is the autistic one. The one on the left is actually me. I'm the autistic one. However, I'm no longer 16. I'm now 20.

I picked the one on the right, but I have a hard time telling you why. Something in his expression, like he'd rather be somewhere else, or he's daydreaming about being somewhere else. But that's not the whole reason, just intuition, and I had to pick one, so I picked him. Also, I think I'd rather talk to him, and not the one on the left. The one on the left looks a little bit combative, but don't mind me, I totally flunk the non-verbal cues test every time

Well of of course most of us got it wrong -- we can't read faces!

Wait wait, are you talking about your right as you were standing or our right looking at the picture?

Only kidding, I got it wrong. What does your brother think about so many people thinking it was him?

It's a cut pic, btw.

I voted for the one on the right but my first impulse was the one on the left. I bet it is either both or neither though.

I say left because he looks more "awkward" to me, but then there is a reason autism is called a "hidden disability". An NT person could be socially awkward and carry themselves awkwardly and an autistic person can sometimes learn to fake appearing "normal" pretty well. However, there are people who I know in real life who are definitely NOT autistic that if you were to place me and them side-by-side you would probably say that he was the autistic guy and not me. I just don't think you can tell from one picture.

wait - I got it right..?

Huh.
