I wonder if the autism thing is just for humans? Anyway, my eye colour is grey/blue, but I voted blue because I like blue better!

I have dark blue eyes.

They are lighter there because there was a flashin my face.

My mum has brown eyes, and my dad and siter have green grey eyes.. eye genetics are complicated.. no idea whether there isa link, but probably not.

This is weird, my eyes changed color as well. I think they were blue at first (because all newborns eyes are blue, right?) then they turned green, then hazel, and then they finely settled on brown at about the age of 3.

I think all the poll has concluded (so far) is that most people have brown eyes, but since brown eyes are very common, that's really not telling us much.

I have blue/amber eyes (blue on the outside of the iris, and amber around the pupil).

For some reason brown eyes seem very strange to me.

These poll results so far are looking fairly representative of the larger western populations (i.e., US, UK/Europe, etc.).

Also, if there are any connections, one must look to see if Aspies/HFAs are more prone to occur in certain ethnic populations in which certain eye colors are more common than in others.
