Anyway, I voted that I have blue eyes...the weird thing about my eyes is one of them is pure blue, while the other is a darker blue and has a little bit of gold/brown around the pupil...occasionally people will ask me if I have two different colored eyes, or if I have one blue eye and one green eye...most of the time the don't notice though...

Actually, it could have been asking if your eyes are brown because most aspies _don't_ have brown eyes. Lots of tests pull stuff like that.
Hmmm, that could be true as well...

I was thinking of that, too, when I read this thread. I've never heard of any relation to eye color and autism, since autism seems to be in about equal occurance rates throughout the world.
Besides, there's more people with brown eyes (at least in the US I think) than blue.
Brown = pigment
Blue = lack of pigment
All other colors in between = variation in amounts of pigment

grey-green, with gold flecks. ranging from charcoal when i'm in a good *cough* mood (use your imagination), to emerald when i'm really angry. and they flash green sparks (and this is according to two independent and reliable witnesses - i've never seen it) when i'm furious.
actually, i quite like my eyes...

Wow, I never knew that about the pigments...I thought it was just a genetic thing...

Well, it's a genetic thing, too. They like to teach that brown eyes are strictly dominant while blue eyes are recessive. So there's less chance usually to get blue eyes. But it's not as cut and dry because everyone has varying degrees of brown pigment. Even people here in the US with blue eyes tend to have some brown pigment, because certainly people in more of the Scandinavian countries have much purer blue eyes than most blues in the US.
But it's definitely genetic and somewhat similar to the dominant/recessive setup.
