Subject: Eye contact
I find it can be strangely physical having eye contact with people... It sort of pulls me 'off balance'.. 😳
Do you find this, too?
I'd love to hear any of your stories/comments too ☺️
RTs also appreciated.

This is a rare #ActuallyAutistic trait that I can't relate to. In fact, it's the opposite for me - if I don't have frequent eye contact with someone while talking to them, it doesn't really feel like we're conversing. I find phone conversations pretty difficult because of this.
@digital_carver @KatyElphinstone I get overwhelmed by eye contact, but I track other nonverbal stuff like gestures to compensate in person, so I can't get the feel of a conversation over the phone very well, either.
Hey, at least most people prefer talking through text these days.
