I don't like how it's something I ALWAYS have to be aware of and I frequently get it wrong. You'd think after 53 years of practice, I'd have it down a little better than I do. Honestly, my give-a-damn is busted so people can just deal with it already.

My NT friend is very interested in Asperger's because of his involvement with me and he gave me some suggestions on how I could appear to make eye contact with people and he taught me how to do it. He said to simply look at his eyebrows/forehead and it would appear as though I was basically making eye contact.

I learned how to do that in college from my psychiatrist. IT REALLY DOES HELP!! There are still people I don't make eye contact though.
