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?
I also mostly struggle with new people. As always, this is a skill that you can practice, but ASLs have a harder time at it (to different levels). It’s still something I do consciously when I’m with friends and family, but don’t bother with strangers. Unless I’m trying to get into their pants, then I bring out the big eye contact guns full power.
