Any Connection Between Eye Colour And Autism?

Post Reply New Topic

I had red eyes before.
Though, it meant sore eyes.
It has a tinge of yellow...
Wait, that's just orange.
So what's orange eyes?
I was sure yellow is more like hepatitis or something...
And I was sure I never had that before!

But ah, nevermind.
I have black eyes.
Or rather...
I thought everyone does, even me since I didn't see it close up then.
Though it also meant something on lines of being beaten black and blue.
Wait, blue eyes?
That's not right.
I never had blue eyes before...

Blue eyes are a very rare sight.
And I have no rare sight!
I have a terrible sight instead!
I mean come on, I can't see things clearly any further than a foot away.

Foot? Are we not talking about eyes here?
If it's about foot, then it's about skin.
I have white and brown skin.
... And my eyes are actually colored white and brown.
As much as I wish it was green instead, it is not!

And then so does everyone I've known my whole life has that.
Therefore it's got nothing to do with autism.

I think there is a connection between light sensitivity and blue eyes.

But my mum is NT and has more light sensitive eyes than other ppl. She has blue eyes.

And Zeppo replaced Gummo. (Sorry. )

Most humans in the world have brown eyes, so I would assume that most autistic people would have brown eyes as well, as I see no connection between autism and eye color.

My eyes are green. I like green eyes, especially after reading Harry Potter.

In Calvin and Hobbes, Hobbes once told Calvin the things he found attractive in women were green eyes, red hair, and...long whiskers. Calvin decided to change the subject.

Grey and violet are missing. Mine are bluish grey.

Mine are brown.

My eyes changed between green and blue as a kid, I have a picture in which they look bright blue and a distinct memory of looking in the mirror and noting how bright green they were. Not sure exactly when that happened, or if it was a one-time thing or happened depending on certain conditions. Now they seem to be stuck on a blue-gray, with just the tiniest hint of brown around the iris if you’re looking hard. Doubt this has anything to do with autism, but I find it interesting.

Another interesting thing about my eyes is that I have a disorder in my left eye that essentially means I can’t look up with that eye, which means that when I try, my eyes look in two different directions. Really, it’s just good for freaking people out Also, the disorder (congenital Brown syndrome) is more common in the right eye, but I have it in my left.

I don't believe there's a connection or correlation between eye colour and autism.

I have green eyes. Or, to be more precise, the level of melanin in my irises scatters light in such a way that my irises appear predominantly green

I don't want to go off topic, but there seems to be a higher proportion of left handed neurodiverse people.

I've always been left handed but use a scissors and a computer mouse right handed. But ask me to write a single word right handed and it will look like a squiggly thingy from a Rorschach test.

Eye colour, however, doesn't bear any relation to being on the autism spectrum.

I wonder if there's a negative correlation between being dyspraxic (which a lot of autistic people are) and being ambidextrous?

I'm not left handed. Furthest thing from it.

I can't use my left hand.

And I wonder how many dyspraxic left handed people really can't use their right hand.

I do almost everything single handed. (Ironically I'm touch typing this... but things like cooking, writing - most people put a hand on the page to steady it - etc)

Ambidextrous is the word, but I love these created words such as twohandrous! More interesting, and we tend to make up our own terminology a lot. I tend to do that. For example I used to call the opposite of a smile (a turned down mouth) a smoor.

My gran did too. When we played board games such as Ludo while I was a kid and being unfamiliar with the usual word, she'd use the words double (2), triple (3) and the unique word fobble (4...).

Some words I forget so I make up my own.

That makes life more interesting.

We can create or own neurodiverse language code!
