Hi, just a bit of an update.
I told my therapist about it and he didn't seem to reach the conclusion that I didn't really want to do eye contact. He continues to try and practice it with me and I'm too shy to say anything.
Oh dear this is sad. I do feel for you because this would also be an impossible situation for me as well and quite difficult to tolerate. It is unfortunate that your therapist doesn't understand the fundamental problem of eye contact and Autistics.
I would suggest simply mentioning it to him that this is just something you can't do but I can see that you're not ready to do that so I hope you can pull through this problem.
