Without looking? I can, sometimes, when I am not immersed in something else. The reason I am wondering is I don't know if Autism affects this level of intuition.
I am wondering if Autism affects this ability, the uncanny feeling one has when being watched. This question is geared toward those with ASD.
Please post your experience with this.
Thanks. |

| In terms of peripheral vision, then yes. |

| I am watching Through The Wormhole about sixth sense research. I find it fascinating. Mentioned was the morphic field and the ability to perceive when one is being watched. It got me thinking about the Autistic responses to the morphic and magnetic fields. I am wondering if it might make it easier for some with Autism to perceive electrical impulses resulting in a sixth sense? |

I often look up and straight to a person staring at me
I sometimes used to look to the phone just before it rang |

Who knows, one day there might be caps you can put on that allow you to communicate telepathically by generating a special field so that you are more susceptible to energy.

Yes. I make faces at them and they jerk their heads away quick.

Thanks for the replies, everyone.
It is possible that Autism and ASDs can make one more susceptible to this uncanny sensation, the kind you have when someone is looking at you and your back is turned. Biologist Rupert Shelblake thinks it's because of Morphic resonance, someones relation to a collective consciousness or memory.
Even physicist Machio Kaku thinks it is possible considering things we have now weren't known 500 years ago would have seemed paranormal to them, like cell phones. Now they
are considered completely normal, we know their inner workings and they add convenience and quality to life.
It seems like possibilities are indeed endless 
It's certainly worth considering!
There's also quantum mechanics involving electrons being in many places at once. Maybe thoughts can be too?

Yes. Yes I can. And I'd appreciate it if you'd knock it off!

I thought this topic was interesting, sorry.
I can ''feel'' when people are staring. This is why I get annoyed when people ask if I'm looking at them, and I have to keep saying, ''no, this is the problem, if I'm not looking at them then why are they looking at me?''
But feeling it makes you feel worse than seeing it. But when I feel that someone is looking at me, I can feel a slight pressure all over my cheeks, as though their gaze has some sort of physical pressure on to my face. This is horrible though, because once my mum's friend got on the bus and sat in front of me, and I wasn't looking so I didn't know who it was, and as she sat down I felt her staring at me and so I turned away even more because I angrily thought, ''who's this woman staring at me?!'' and then she called my name and said hello. I felt bad after that.
But I don't think this is related to Autism because other people have said that they can tell when somebody is looking at them. I think I read somewhere that they have good periphery, which is why they can spot someone they know even without looking for them in the first place, they can also probably feel that someone is looking at them and so they look round and notice it was their friend or relative, which is how they spot them.
