People look in to each others eyes to connect on an emotional level Aspies don't because they don't deem it logical, you probably trust most people to not look at them.
I disagree, that's not the case with me. Then again I'm apparently more emotive than most Aspies...
For me, with adapting for the past 18 years w/o knowing I had Asperger's, I can now look at others' eyes in single-second intervals, but that's about it. In conversation, my mind doesn't function the best looking at someone's eyes; In speaking, I can't form the words while also looking at their eyes, doing so stops my train of thought. In listening, I can't seem to take in all they're talking about. But I can take a quick second-long look at someone before or after I say something, to show I'm paying attention.
Because I can do something like this, the last doctor thought I didn't have Asperger's, which is a load of bull... I can't make normal eye contact, just half-baked eye contact.
