The woman is going clockwise and then she switches when I stare at it long enough. Then she goes back to going clockwise again. And I am an aspie.

Totally the same here!

I saw it going clockwise. It can't go the other way unless she is rotating over a mirrored surface.

Oh no! That spinning dancer! :P

This image always renders me somewhat crazed, because I find that, depending on which areas I focus on, she seems to switch between clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation. What's more, upon observing a switch, I find myself fundamentally baffled as to how it looked as though she was rotating the opposite way previously, and it's always extremely difficult to determine where to focus my eyes so that she'll 'switch' again. :P

At the time of my voting, she appeared to be rotating counter-clockwise. I have an ASD.

Diagnosed aspie, it seems to be going ant-clockwise and i cannot get it to go any other way. What is the significance of this?

It's about if you are right brained or left brained. The majority is left so they will see it going anti clockwise but some will see it going clockwise because they are right brained.

She does both with me. If I concentrate hard it suddenly looks like she's going the other way.

I'm interested, I thought everyone could "switch" their perceptions at will.


I think alot, if not most people can do this. I can do it too, and I know people who can.


Can't Everybody Do That?
