I can't. It's one of the things that many therapists and Dr's have found immensely irritating about me and the more irritated they become, the more autistic I become and it all turns to shite. The only people I can make eye contact with comfortably are my Husband and kids. I could make eye contact with my Mum but she's dead now. I could never make eye contact with my Father who sadly isn't dead.
I really don't understand why eye contact is seen as such an important thing by NT's. Even when I explain that I can either look at them or listen to them but I can't do both, they still say things like 'Look at me when I'm talking to you.' Why, just why!

Same. I just had a doctor snap at me the other day for it. I'm not going back to that doctor!
Wow. Yeah I would not only not go back to that doctor again but I would file a complaint. That doctor sounds pretty harsh. That's terrible.
