The test of the passive eye

Post Reply New Topic

Hi,

I looked at hours of videos of aspergers to conclude to something that maybe you already knew : Asperger have an eye more passive than the other one. I don't found that particularity among those supposed out of the spectrum. I've found those last ones who have an eye smaller than the other one but the eyes stayed symetrics between them.

To do the test :
-look at the camera directly with a relaxed face (eye smile a few (finally it's easier with eye smile))
-to face the camera
-take a photo of your eyes

To recongnize the passive eye:
It's the eye who have a corner angle (near the nose) more open


It's easier to see on childs, you can look at a photo of you younger

I am consciously aware of tending to squint my right eye just a bit while talking, and sometimes I even close it as if giving an extended "please listen closely (or 'take me seriously')" kind of wink.

My wife points it out to me all the time.

I'm not good at seeing anything other than colours in eyes, I don't notice anything different in their eyes (apart from a slight asymetry which is common) nor mines when I look at the video. I only I tend to squint when I look down my computer and I feel like I'm squinting when I try to look to people in the eyes (especially from the left eye) but I also think it's because making eye connection feels uncomfortable.

Hmm... I never really thought about that... Left eye here.
At the same time, left eye is my dominant eye.

EDIT: By the way... You might want to swap the image-titles.

Doesn't everybody have a passive side to their face? I remember reading about it years ago. Take any portrait photo of a face and cover up one side and then the other.

Of course you can deliberately close an eye more than the other one. But what I noticed is that aspergers had a "lazier" eye than the other one. It is not still evident to see and the images which I present you have been taken when it was the most visible. I do not find this phenomenon in the videos of NT. I shall be delighted that you send me a screenshot if you make the test. Roughly you should have an eye more flattened than the other one.
If you made a video of 10 seconds the result will be very probably light as below.



During my search I found a guy who was made a reflection on that phenomenon
here at around 5:30.

My left eye is slightly blurry. Is that what you mean?

Which is your dominant nostril?

It is planned for a next test, don't Spoil the Surprise

No it is different, below the same person but this time it less appear. I repeat it is something not volunteer whom I do not find on the videos of NT. It's a really strange thing.

I am not sure what you mean but here are some of my baby photo's/ childhood

Sometimes my left eye feels just slightly lazy and I've been told it appears that way when I'm very tired. Is that what you mean?

I took screenshots of my eyes during my little speech. I actually recorded two videos and edited the picture on photoshop because left and right were reversed and it was awkward.

My left eye is smaller than my right eye and its shape is slightly different (everyone has that on my mother's side), the crease (of the eyelid) is more visible on my right eye.
I have slight astigmatism, different axis depending on the eye, my vision is more affected on the left eye. I guess it can change the way my eye "look".



Pictures taken during the day : I was tired and was not looking at the camera.
The two last pictures : I was looking at the camera.
First one : I was blinking.

Perhaps it does not show anything strange, I really cannot see anything wrong on your photographs therefore I took random screenshot and I think there may be nothing visible on the whole videos.

(I may be truly faceblind because I still do not see anything unusual in their eyes.)

I have only been told once by my best friend that my eyes were doing "strange things" but I was suffering from photophobia. By the way, both my mother and my brother have a "lazy eye" problem on one side (and my mother'left eye almost became blind when she was younger because of ambliopy), I think different "look" can sometimes come from another problem.

I do have a lazy eye which I keep closed a lot of the time, but when they're both open and looking straight ahead they're not much different. And sometimes I use that eye and close the other one.
