@whileyouwonder: ATTN: ADHDers 👀 I ✨SEE✨ you! Do YOU 👉think👈 about eye contact, find it distracting, or are you inconsistent with it with different people or in different environments or emotional states? Tell me below! ⬇️ #adhd #neurodivergent #autism #autismassessor
Then I don’t hear anything they say because I’m trying to make the right amount of eye contact 🤣

Sh*t. I have to guide myself through eye contact with people “look at them” “look away” “look back” “look at their left eye, now right” “glance at a tree” “look back”

Anyone prefer to stare at people’s mouths instead?

So if I’m deliberately following an internal rule of how long to look into each persons eyes but then I get weirded out by whether I’m looking into the right or left eye, that’s not my ADHD?

So I have to remind myself to look at people in the eye while talking, I don’t remember peoples faces because I don’t really look at them if that makes sense. Is that not normal?

MastiffLife :
wait... hold on... eye contact doesn't take up mental space?? how do we figure that out? that can't be right, people don't think about the appropriate level of eye contact based on situation?

My brother said to me ‘everyone has a little bit of autism in them’ 😩 my family kind of acts like my diagnosis isn’t a real thing and that I’m soooo normal. Not even realising I mask around them even

captainswordface :
but because ADHD is less stigmatized then autism I think a ton of people who have been diagnosed as ADHD actually have autism instead ( or both of course) but I see this observationally a lot

I have adhd. I remember someone telling me that not looking people in the eye makes you look untrustworthy, because I always struggled with it, so now it feels like I bore into people's souls

NewThoughtWitch :
I tend to stare into their soul before reminding myself to look away so I don't look crazy. I'm guessing that qualifies, huh? 🤦

Every video I see about autism and how neurotypical ppl don’t do something it’s more apparent I am not neurotypical.

It baffles me how many things neurotypical people can do without thinking about it. I’m probably going to be thinking about this all night.

See, I only have ADHD and can look people in the eyes, but WHICH EYE AM I SUPPOSED TO USE like I end up going between the two? Do people just like, look right between the eyes?

Jo Writes :
I see this with a lot of people diagnosed with ADHD as kids. I think their peditricians/psychiatrists/assessors thought ASD would be more stigmatizing so they just called it ADHD.

Megan 🇳🇿 :
That's not fair. I'm still getting used to the whole ADHD thing. Now you've got me questioning if I'm going to need to spend a whole bunch more money for another diagnosis.

Just a note that adhd is also neurodivergent. Neurotypical is not synonymous with not-autistic…. Allistic means not autistic.

What does getting diagnosed do for me? I have suspicions and think about getting assessed, but I always come back to the thought “what will a diagnosis do for me?” other than validate.

I hate lookin in people's eyes have since I was a kids, but every time my mom would talk to me it was "look me in the eyes when I'm talking to you." Not looking at her got me accused of being...
