There are many autistics who don't talk. There are many autistics who only parrot words and mimic. Don't you find this unsettling or at least curious.
I cut out corn syrup last week, but it's in so many products, it's hard to avoid completely.

Shelby made an interesting observation about children with blue eyes that are autistic.

I think that my eyes creep people out too sometimes. One lady even mentioned it to me a while ago.

And, I don't think the Nazi doctors were mere quacks. It's more likely that the propaganda kept their secrets safe. It just doesn't make sense they would put so much time and effort selecting for eye and hair color for aesthetic reasons. They were top neurosurgeons and were selecting for specific genes that weren't just to make people look a certain way. I'll leave it at that though. I can't prove anything and nobody seems to care to know what they were really doing nor is the government allowing the research to be made public.


Well, I DID say PERSONALLY, and MOST! I am not DISPUTING their existence. I am merely saying that they aren't as prevalent as you claimed. Frankly, I think the new ads about HFCS have a lot of merit. As for eyes, not many REALLY look at mine, though they are most apparent in the daylight. Still, I don't know if they freak out anyone. One classmate, 3 optometrists, a family member or two, and one stranger DID remark about them though.

I've got blue eyes. Kinda gray-blue. I've got ridiculously thick brown hair. I'm 5'5 and a bit on the stocky side. Naturally quite muscular, especially in the legs. I've been told that I look Eastern European. I'm of mostly German heritage, and I'm 1/32 Blackfoot Indian.

I read that most aspies have hazel or brown eyes. Are there any of you here with blue eyes? If so please describe yourself briefly.
I'm mostly interested in your ability to think logically without letting emotions cloud your vision of purpose.


Doesnt that have more to do with the country you come from? In Norway its almost a bit EXOTIC to have brown eyes...

And, yes, I have blue eyes.

I forgot about my personality. My friends say that I always analyze things. And have a very rational approach. Still I can also be very emotional and react verbally agressive when I am pissed off.

My eye color seems to be dependent on the environment I'm in. I've actually had people comment that each was a different color (one green, one blue) at the same time. Blue, green and gray are the most common. About the only shade I've never had reported is brown. I finally settled on declaring them hazel on forms like a driver's license after my mother's mother's second husband said they were hazel. Since nobody seems to know what color hazel is, it works for me. I've actually avoided researching the definition of hazel eyes, to avoid the conflict I'd have filling out forms if it were contrary to my assumption.

In elementary school, I had one teacher that would cycle between a number of different methods of releasing us to recess. Alphabetical, reverse alphabetical, randomly by eye color, ect. I always had to ask the person sitting next to me to what color my eyes were at the time so I would know when to leave (I'm sure the teacher had to think I was up to some thing when sometimes I left with the blue eyes and sometimes with the green eyes, but she never said anything to me.

I'm extremely rational, analytical and have very muted emotions. Friends and family frequently complain that I over analyze everything. Strangely, I can make decisions faster than just about anyone in a crisis, but will take forever to make a decision if time allows. I attribute my crisis handling to a number of things. Any crisis situation is very stressful, and indecision even more so. I can quickly assess a situation and research possible causes and solutions. I can quickly collect enough data to come up with a working plan to start moving forward. Since I come up with multiple cause/effect scenarios almost in parallel, I can come up with plan A and plan B almost immediately given sufficient data. Because of this, I can start working on a solution while everyone else is still trying to figure out what happened. Experience has taught me to avoid irreversable options until there is no choice. While executing plan A, plan C, D and so on form in my mind as new data is collected and I'll fork down alternate paths as I get more complete understanding of the problem develops.

I tend to go with my conscience and my logic over my emotions.

My eyes are a strong blue. I'd post a photo if I wasn't so technologically illiterate.

Brown eyes here, but I'm African-American, so that's to be expected (your question really only makes sense for people of European ancestry). I am more logical than emotional (meltdowns excluded).

Crystal blue eyes, here.

I tend to be both logical and conscientious and much to the confusion of those who say I should not have it, I have LOADS of empathy, an over load, really....too much.

I think that has more to do with where you come from. If you come from Norway or Sweden, there is a high likelyhood that you have blue eyes. I you come from Nigeria, the likelyhood is probably zero.

What does that have to do with anything? I was talking about BANKS in iceland. HECK, we spoke about moving to iceland, and I spoke about the language and population, so it is clear I knew it is a country. Besides, a company probably won't bail out the three largest banks in its country.
