| When I looked at the first picture, my first perception was that it looked like a bunch of stairs. It took me a moment to process what exactly was being asked. Finally, I decided the lines "looked" crooked, but somehow, deep inside, I knew they were really parallel....don´t know if that makes sense.... |

| Sure, what I wrote is just an idealised version of reality, and it assumes one-on-one. I guess that with your students, you'll glance at each of them in turn while you're talking. Each listener will only get your gaze for a short time Hmmmm......I´m not really sure! I try to look at different peopl... |

| Wow, that´s so refreshing to see someone here who is appreciative! It seems like lately, I´ve seen quite a few Threads that are rather negative to other WP members- (most of which I avoid; I´ve decided I don´t have to read anything which will probably upset me anyway). In any case, I feel the same..... |

| I was just fine with eye contact until I realized that people don't like it when I look at them. Now I don't know what to do because if I don't look at them it feels strange, but if I do that feels strange too. I'm told that the choreography of conversational eye contact goes as follows: [ NB: You ... |

That may be so, but just keep in mind that some "experts" may not be real experts, if you catch my drift..... |

| This thread is interesting.....mostly because when I was a kid, I absolutely abhorred the taste of water! My mother used to be very irritated by this; if I told her I was thirsty, she´d say "drink some water", and if I said "I don´t want water", then she´d say "then you´re not really thirsty"! There... |

As Chronos wrote, lack of eye contact is one possible trait of AS, but not everyone has this particular trait and it is not necessary for making a diagnosis. This doctor should re-read the diagnostic criteria.  |

| I did have trouble learning to read at first, and I was behind the other students. I also had trouble learning how to differentiate the letters when they were written; for instance, a "b" looked like a "p" or a "d" or a "q"- (all just circles with lines attached, as far as I was concerned). I rememb... |

I was a dancer. I spent my whole weekend in the dance studio, dancing. Everything else was put "on hold"- including homework- until Monday, when the stress began again.  |

To make matters worse, if they change the subject, I will unadvertedly get back to the previous topic as soon as I get the chance, even if hours have passed. Yes, I definitely do this.
