Dear neurokin,

Maybe one of the biggest tell tale signs of autism is difficulty in making eye contact. It doesn’t mean we can’t make eye contact and those high maskers amongst us will know, we force ourselves to perform all kinds of socially accepted social cues, body language and gestures to show we are following the rules.

That comes at a cost, to us.
