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 have no problems with eye contact, and experience it as an important part of communication, also for me. There are times, when something really serious is discussed, that I look somewhere else to not get distracted, but thats about information overload and not about it being unpleasant
