Interpersonal Traits of Aspies Placed in Context

a chapter from A Mind-Body Look at the Concept of Asperger's Syndrome (pdf) by Michael Samsel, LMHC

Uncommunicative Eye Contact

In humans, eye contact is the center of the attachment system. In Asperger's Syndrome there is either an avoidance of eye contact (most common) or an unvarying, relative unblinking, staring, constant eye contact (less common). Avoidant eye contact gives an impression of 'having something to hide', and also eliminates a big channel of communication and trust. Staring eye contact, because of its unchanging nature, is also uncommunicative, and is generally experienced as disturbing on the receiving end.

Tips for Neuro-Typicals

Say What You Want Directly and Plainly. Don't hint, don't understate. Spell out expectations.

Allow and Accept Asynchrony in Communication. For instance, let an exchange play out in email, even if you both live in the same house. In this case any delay does not take over as the subject of discussion, as it tends to in attempts at synchronous (face-to-face) discussion. After all, people tolerate asynchrony in internet shopping or judicial proceedings, in the interest of getting a better product.

Make Social Occasions Fairly Short and Fix Upon a Duration. Open-ended social situations tend to provoke shutdown in the aspie for self-protection. A time limited foray is a manageable task.
