I assume many have seen and experienced, to varying degrees, optical illusions in form of pictures, sculptures etc.
I was wonder if more people on the spectrum cannot perceive the illusion in certain optical illusions?
I don't see the illusion in optical illusions that have to do with comparing colours for example. And everything that has to do with straight lines that seem to appear distorted to others.
I wonder if that's just normal, or if it's common on the spectrum or whether it has another reason.

Illusions such as: Bird in a cage - Magic Eye scenes - etc. Yes, tend to feel that persons on the spectrum have more difficulties than many do with optical illusions. Seeing an optical illusion implies that both eyes work alright; also, short-term memory has to be intact enough to hold it all together to see the optical illusion as a whole. I have ADHD Inattentive including central auditory processing disorder and it came as a big surprise to me that a central nervous system stimulant - alerting agent - would, for me, improve perception enough so I could temporarily see optical illusions accurately due to temporarily improved vision (fusion) as well as temporarily enhanced short-term memory (not a cure).
