I was looking for some videos to watch with my Aspie son and ran into this video on eye contact.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ior3iIXjMTU&feature=endscreen&NR=1[/youtube]

This guy also has lots of other good videos on how to dress, etc...Even my 11yr almost 12yr old tween enjoyed the one about Young Guys and dressing...

I hope this helps some of the guys around here. :-)

nothing new was told there, not for me at least.
i did chuckle a bit in the beginning of the video though; when he said "did you notice how i didn't look at the camer?"; erm no, i didn't...

Thanks for posting, it's quite interesting and I like his demonstration of of unanimated staring. I've been trying to avoid that recently, and a guy at work recently told me that it is possible to smile too much - so I guess it's pretty hard to judge this stuff.

I wrote a piece yesterday on how to read eye movement....it may be of some help.
http://autismsocialskillsottawa.blogspo ... aying.html

A friend of mine w/ ADD was asking about body language and got to talking about eye contact. He has a developed a habit of staring to show that he is listening. its rather intense and comes across as being too dominant. He did not realize this. He also has a hard time listening so when he is really concentrating on what is being said he looks down, this usually happens when is talking to the wife. She obviously gets upset w/ him as that indicates he is obviously not paying attention but in fact he is. So how YOU relate w/ your eyes is just as important as trying to understand the cues used by others w/ Eye movements. anyways...read my post in the above link and tell me what you think.
