Do Aspies tend to have darker than average eyes?
I for one don't like high light conditions. I sit here typing in the dark with only the monitor and a 60 watt bulb for company, and I try and avoid the sun as much as possible. It's too bright up there. I don't like certain warehouse stores for the same reason. All that extra florescent lighting.
It's not the brightness with fluorescent lights but the flicker which seems either to be not visible or not bothersome to most normal people.
Why? Cattle and abattoirs are more her area of expertise I believe.
I'm blue eyed, and they're lightly blue eyed. My grandfather was (probably as he was an engineer) AS or some variation, and he had blue eyes too, and my other grandfather who I have no idea about as he died before I was born, also had blue eyes. I got the genes.
So, yeah, I don't think it really has anything to do with it.
HOWEVER: I think the meaning behind darker eyes means that we have a more vacant or perhaps a darker look in our eyes, or as my NT neice described another person: "he has those kind of eyes that you can't read."
We notice the things NTs take for granted, we see the world in a completely different way, I imagine our eyes are weird in many ways, or at the very least the way our brain interprets what the eyes see. Either way.

Indeed, and she also knows a lot about autism.
Not really.
Her expertise is in animal science, and her constantly-likening Autists with animals is pseudo-scientific at best and irresponsible and insulting at worst.

Also note the variety of eye colors in this video...
One thing I did notice was a larger than "normal" iris aperture in most of those images. A good deal of those photos were taken under a good light source, you'd think their irises would close a little more. Maybe that's what I'm seeing. Someone else posted here on this thread that they have unusually wider iris aperture under normal lighting conditions.

I could see there being a link, I don't think it's genetic, I think it could just be an artifact of the syndrome. The eye's are a window to the soul so they say, but they're also part of your brain. I wish Ms. Grandin was here to chime in on this.
OR, I'm just seeing things... again. I do <3 all this feedback.
In this case i'm the opposite. My pupils are always small, even in darkness. In fact i need of a lot of light when i work and i can't stand sunglasses. I can't see.
But it seems i'm very low sensitive to light. Even with substance that make my pupils dilated (like sight visits) i'm not much annoyed by light. Eyes of my mom and my brothers are in tears when they have dilated pupils.
Talking about anime, so it is not that wrong that they draw L Lawliet with over-dilated pupils.

Some WP members try to invent physical features to make Autistics look like they're born different. Autism really doesn't work that way. I physically look as normal as any other human being. Nothing stands out at all.
Actually, this is not 100% accurate, although the stuff you're calling out really does have nothing to do with autism.
Morphological features in children with autism spectrum disorders
Same study discussed here:
http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt129940.html
Which is to say, most of the traits people ask about have nothing to do with autism, but there are traits that occur more frequently in autistic people than in NTs. Nothing that could be used for diagnosis, however.
