Actually, brown eyes(and hazel if you mean effectively brown) are VERY common.


I know they are common.

Like the A blood type, it may be a meaningless correlation. I HAVE seen a number of pictures of AS people with green eyes though. Green eyes aren't so common.


Green eye-color is underrepresentated in Aspies!

The correlations are not meaningless. I also show the 95% CI in the reports.

Here are the results in version 6-8:
Red hair:
AS: 10.1-12.8, 10.2-13.4, 9.6-12.7
NT: 8.7-11.0, 6.5-9.6, 7.3-10.1

Some of the intervals are non-overlapping (version 7), while others are not.

Brown/hazel eye:
AS: 32.9-37.9, 34.4-40.0, 40.7-45.4
NT: 30.6-34.8, 27.2-33.3, 31.8-36.3

Version 7 and 8 have non-overlapping 95% CI.

The logic fallacy here assumes all Autsies and Aspies think alike. But much like NT's we vary.
True. What I said, if it applies, will apply to general tendencies and averages, not a hard-and-fast rule.

maybe an Aspie solves his/her autistic-traits with his or her intelligence?

(like "in this situation we have 3 possibilities, in the first one this and that can change but generally i'm expected to do this and that , the 2 possibility , etc, etc" )

so that even if you don't have the feel of what you should do like an NT does, you end up having that much possibilities, that it doesn't show anymore, or at least not as long as you're confronted with a regular situation.

AS is a part of Autisim. We are the lowest rage on the spectrum.
