Ming explores whether autistic children dislike eye contact, noting that experiences vary widely. Some autistic people find it painful, others don't. The speaker isn't an autism expert and encourages you to research further.
Maybe a lot of autistic children don't like eye contact. Like some people will say. Yeah, because eye contact is hurtful. Like it hurts their eyes. It's too sensitive. I don't know that I'm not autistic. I have no idea. And there are also a lot of people who are adults who are autistic, who are my clients who tell me this is not true as well. But I'm not going to say this is a myth. I think it's up to individual differences and I need to be careful because now a lot of people are saying that they are autistic themselves. And I am not an expert about autism and adults or children, I just teach autistic people. It doesn't mean I'm an expert. You can listen to anyone on the Internet and do your own research and agree or disagree. So yeah, no eye contact doesn't mean it's autism. You just need to remember that.
