Do women with Aspergers get caught unintentionally flirting by blinking slowly or get caught staring at men?
Is it only men that stare? It also seems inappropriate if men blinks slowly.

I found this link to a youtube clip about reading eyes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiTbd4Mc3kk

You cannot generalise and say that all women with Asperger's do XYZ. We're all different. :)

Interesting video. Now tomorrow I'm not going to be paying attention to a word anyone says to me because I'm going to be too busy observing their blink rate, lol.

To answer the original question, no, I don't think I do that. At least not usually. I did get hit on by a guy at the laundromat tonight because he thought I was checking him out, but he was actually just standing in front of a dryer I wanted to use and he decided to flatter himself. Just a misunderstanding.

He didn't say "all" of anyone does anything, and doing so would be the opposite of a generalization.

I wanted to know if women in general were taught that to stare is good in a certain scenario, or did you notice/learn this by your self? The people that raised you, did they make you aware of the social rules? Do you see that this is something that women are allowed to get away with, but not (any) men. Can you see the problem that this creates for men with Aspergers vs women with Aspergers?
