Does anyone else have high functioning autism?

So today I was walking my dog, listening to music and looking at my phone when I hear a oh hey and I look up and I saw a women who was probably startled and I kinda had a awkward moment so I continued to look down when I heard another hi from her son and then I said an awkward hello. The kid asked if he could pet my dog and so I kinda awkwardly said yeah she’s friendly and walked up to them and let them pet my dog. As I was talking I found it hard to make eye contact because they were complete strangers and then as I left I realized I was probably staring at her boobs and now I’m ashamed. Does anyone else have that problem where it’s hard to make eye contact with a stranger? If so how did you fix it?

I have autism and I was trained as a child on how to maintain eye contact for an appropriate amount of time and when to break it off. My parents had money & I went to a rich public school that is one of the best in the country.

So yeah, be born in a good area with rich parents and he will be fine. Otherwise you are going to have to teach yourself and be willing to be adaptable.

The biggest thing you can do for social interactions is drop your expectations and don't care about the outcome.

You don’t look at their eyes, you look at the space between their eyebrows. As far as they’re concerned, you’re making eye contact.
