My eyes wander between grey and blue.

I had a theory about blue eyes being more sensitive to UV and brown eyes better with IR.
This was based on differences between perceived colour (A colour blue eyed people call blue, brown eyes call purple. Something I see as red is called orange by brown eyes.)

Then I wondered if it was just me having visual hypersensitivity.

Logic?....
My imagination varies between steered and uncontrollable.
It all depends on my mood.

My eye color didn't change until I was in my 20's as did some of the other posters here. Also, I don't know many other children whose eye color changed so drastically as my nieces or my own and we are both on the spectrum.

I just find it curious and I also find it curious as to why the Nazi's wanted blue eyes so much.
What was the difference that they found? I never found the reason why. During this time the German Shepherd was created by the Nazis.
What were they doing? What "superior" genes were they selecting and why? Around the time that these experiments were going on, Hans Asperger identified the characteristics of this "disorder".

I think it would be easier to find out the answer to your eugenics question by asking people what their heritage is...to determine if there were any diagnosed aspies whose parents or grandparents were not in Europe in the early-to-mid-20th century....

I have blue eyes... Though not as blue as they look in my avatar; that's heavily digitally enhanced. :)

My mother always attributed my hypersensitivity to bright light (which she probably doesn't realize is as severe as it is) to my eye color but now I attribute it to my AS.

The reason why I just want to single out blue eyes and not ask a broad question as to the person's heritage is because Nazi eugenics doctors were specifically trying to select for blue eyes. Why? I'm sure they were spending so much time and effort on their eugenics program for the mere fact of creating blonde/blue eyed people. Look at what they did with dogs. The German Shepherd is now a police officer in many cases. :lol:

Also, you can't rely on a person knowing his true heritage.

The Nazis did not breed the German Shepherd.

I have blue eyes. I do not really know what you mean about following logical rules over conscience. For me my latter is composed of the earlier.

Why did I think the German Shepherd was created by the Nazi's. I guess I read somewhere that Hitler had a blonde German Shepherd and I don't even remember where I read that. I could have sworn I read that about 2 years ago, that the Nazi's experimented on dogs as well as people and specifically were researching the German Shepherd.

I'm obsessing I know, cut me some slack. What were they doing though and why can't I find information on these experiments. All the info I find paints the eugenics doctors to be total sadists but my instincts tell me there is more to the story. Not that they weren't twisted, but where are the products of these experiments? Any thoughts, opinions?

One more thing I wonder now is how is it that the German Shepherd was originally a herding dog and now they don't seem to have the same characteristics of a typical herding dog. They seem to be more like hounds or hunting dogs. I don't have a fixed opinion, just curious.

I'm guessing a LOT of the products of Nazi Germany were destroyed by either the Allied forces (intentionally or not) or the Nazis themselves, near the end.

And the CIA's experiments with Eugenics? Massive coverup. :P

I have blue eyes. They don't change color, but they do change shade. They go anywhere from a deeper, darker blue (like the top, middle square on the pic on the blue wiki page), to a light-icy blue that almost crosses into gray.

Logical thinking/acting Vs emotional? I have no idea where I fall into that.

ACTUALLY, I don't even know if blond german shepherds exist. And they ARE basically shepherds.

Aryans were originally light skinned, blond hair, blue eyes. Hitler tried to, for whatever reason, promote that and let those characteristics take over. They are ALL recessive.

BTW for the record, my eyes changed color around 8 as I recall. I was in school, etc....

I had blue eyes when I was a little girl, which turned to hazel as I grew up.

Piercing blue eyes, such that people ask if my photos are enhanced.

I'll see if I can find one.
