Great, that's why people are mesmerized by our eyes. We look like Anime characters. Who wants to be Goku? Hah! 
Chi-Chi maybe?

One thing I did notice was a larger than "normal" iris aperture in most of those images. A good deal of those photos were taken under a good light source, you'd think their irises would close a little more. Maybe that's what I'm seeing.

I for one don't like high light conditions. I sit here typing in the dark with only the monitor and a 60 watt bulb for company, and I try and avoid the sun as much as possible. It's too bright up there.
I don't like certain warehouse stores for the same reason. All that extra florescent lighting.

Why? Cattle and abattoirs are more her area of expertise I believe.

I've got greenish blue eyes. I don't think dark eye color correlates with autism. Dark brown eyes are a dominate feature in people. You might of known less Aspies with blue eyes because lighter eye color is a recessive feature.
Also note the variety of eye colors in this video...

OR, I'm just seeing things... again. I do <3 all this feedback.
In this case i'm the opposite. My pupils are always small, even in darkness. In fact i need of a lot of light when i work and i can't stand sunglasses. I can't see.
But it seems i'm very low sensitive to light. Even with substance that make my pupils dilated (like sight visits) i'm not much annoyed by light. Eyes of my mom and my brothers are in tears when they have dilated pupils.
Talking about anime, so it is not that wrong that they draw L Lawliet with over-dilated pupils.

On another thread somewhere is says something about Aspies having brighter eyes.
Some WP members try to invent physical features to make Autistics look like they're born different. Autism really doesn't work that way. I physically look as normal as any other human being. Nothing stands out at all.

Actually, this is not 100% accurate, although the stuff you're calling out really does have nothing to do with autism.
Morphological features in children with autism spectrum disorders
Quote:
This study was designed to examine morphological features in a large group of children with autism spectrum disorder versus normal controls. Amongst 421 patients and 1,007 controls, 224 matched pairs were created. Prevalence rates and odds ratios were analyzed by conditional regression analysis, McNemar test or paired t-test matched pairs. Morphological abnormalities were significantly more prevalent in patients with autism than in the normal control group and 48 morphological features distinguished patients from controls. Our findings show that morphological features are associated with autism. Exploring potential underlying genetic mechanisms of this association might lead to a better understanding of autism.
Same study discussed here:
http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt129940.html
Which is to say, most of the traits people ask about have nothing to do with autism, but there are traits that occur more frequently in autistic people than in NTs. Nothing that could be used for diagnosis, however.
