In most photos of myself throughout my life my eyes look "foggy". They have a kind of unfocused look, like I'm looking inward and not at the camera or photographer or even like the way blind people's eyes look, like they aren't directed at the right place. Is this typical of people with AS? If so, couldn't photos of the person in childhood help in a diagnosis? Has anyone diagnosed as an adult been asked to show photos of themselves as a child?

I think it usually looks like I'm pretty focused on something else in pictures.

Could be the childhood trauma of being kept in an ice bucket, and your mom dressing you funny

I'm never looking at the camera even when I mean to.

My eyes are either penetrating or glazed over in pictures.

My left eye tends to wander and do it's own thing a little, leaving my eyes sort of under-correlated with each other.
