  • description: #autism #neurodiversity #eyecontact Eye contact.Do you like it? Or does it feel intense, vulnerable, or just… wrong? For most of my life, I avoided eye contact wherever possible. It felt intimate, ambiguous, and full of social rules no one had explained. Recently, I’ve been experimenting… and what I discovered completely changed how I see it. In this video, I explore: Why eye contact can feel overwhelming The hidden purpose of eye contact (that no one told us) How people use it to test whether you’re open to interaction Why avoiding it can accidentally signal “don’t approach” How to experiment safely, on your own terms Practical strategies (angles, sunglasses, positioning) I’d love to hear your experience. Does eye contact feel natural, uncomfortable, or somewhere in between? WANT TO GET MORE INVOLVED IN OUR COMMUNITY?

If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you! I'm Paul Micallef, and I discovered my own autism at age 30. Yes, I know, I don't look autistic. That's exactly why I started this channel in the first place because if I didn't show you, you would never know. Autism affects many (if not all!) aspects of our lives, so on this channel, I want to show you what Autism looks like in real people and give you some insight into what's happening for us on the inside. We'll break down myths and misconceptions, discuss how to embrace autism and live well, and share what it's like to be an autistic person. Join me as I share what I've found along my journey, so you don't have to learn it the hard way. Make sure to subscribe so you won’t miss my new video every Friday and some bonus content thrown in mid-week too. ➡️️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-FpBZR7DbpvNj5UrFN8qUA?sub_confirmation=1 👋Connect with me: ➡️️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/aspergersfromtheinside ➡️️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/autismfromtheinside.com.au ➡️️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AspieFromInside ➡️️ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autismfrominside.bsky.social ➡️️ Written Blog: https://www.autismfromtheinside.com.au/blog ➡️️ Email: aspergersfromtheinside@gmail.com Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my channel!
