autistic kids don't like it though, yeah? they find eye contact to be... arousing. not calming. the other person attempting to do the resonance thing can be... distressing. not soothing. i do wonder if i'm wired up a little bit differently in this respect. what other people seem to seek... i have an aversion to. i thought it was because my mother was so over-stimulating / insensitive to me / dysregulated and unpredictable herself... and maybe that was part of it (withdrawing from her was the best thing i could do to become calm). but maybe... i would have been a little like this with any caregiver. i guess we'll never know. about me, anyway.
