Episode 11- Why Eye Contact is uncomfortable for Autistics+Neurodistinct styles of communication

Unpacking Neuroqueerness by George Muniz Gund and Xenia Rakovshik

Episode notes

In this episode I discuss why for us Autistics, eye contact isn't the primary way that we show engagement, and why it can be very uncomfortable or even painful to some of us. I also discuss other ways that Autistics tend to show engagement, that may differ from standard neuronormative forms of communication.
