The unique eye of autism

Post Reply New Topic

Hey, I did this "test". OP, guess my diagnosis without looking at my profile:



FYI: I'm wearing contact lenses, I don't know if it could affect anything. But they compensate the myopia difference between my left and right eye.

However, I don't understant, why in this picture: http://postimage.org/image/pow7pb2vt/ second subject is more "no" than "yes", and in this picture: http://postimage.org/image/lanqdgsbd/ first subject is more "yes" than "no". Or the difference is so slight, that it's impossible to tell.

I have myopia in BOTH eyes, and astigmatism in my left eye. Interesting, but...
The autistic individuals may have been glancing away, even if not aware of it. Calls for more research, but that is usual..
I can tell you for me though, most of my tie-ins with ASD are sensory hypersensitivities. One of which is a definite aversion to bright light. I did/too tend to squint a lot. Could this also factor in? And there, another area on this you could/should research.

Sincerely,
Matthew

Can anyone else only cross one eye?

I have astigmatism in my left eye. My right eye is normal and has better vision, but I have spent many years squinting with my right eye to make up for the bad vision in my left eye, so my right eye's sight is not as good as it could be. My new glasses have improved my right eye's vision quite a bit though.

i believe your eye trick thing will only work with people with almond shaped eyes or occasions.
though ive noticed there seems to be a correlation between people who are on teh autism spectrum and eye related issues. for example one of my eyes does not sit straight and its slightly out to the left with my left eye. Ive also noticed that some of my ASD friends also have eye problems.

An oldie but a goldie. Want to look into more of this later.
