How much do you guys struggle with eye contact?
I read that it’s common with ADHD. so I’m just wondering how much y’all struggle with it?
I’m diagnosed with ASD, and might be getting an ADHD diagnosis in a few weeks. But I’m unsure if I have ASD. My support worker said she doesn’t see much ASD in me, but my psychologist and a couple of psychiatrists have said i am ASD.
Anyway, how much do y’all struggle with eye contact? I struggle with it with new people, but sometimes, after some time, I am able to look at them (not in the eye usually - I look at their nose or chin or whatever). Before some time has passed, I look at the floor or whatever. Anyone else?
1: I’d usually trust “a psychologist and a couple of psychiatrists” over “one support worker”. But of course that doesn’t automatically mean they are right in your case.
2: I don’t generally struggle with eye contact at all. What I do struggle with is continued eye contact, like more than a few seconds long. But regardless of who I’m talking to, because I just get bored looking at their eyes.
