I made eye contact with Autism.

There's a 24 year old guy at my work( a discount grocery store where I'm a cashier and he works in grocery) who looks SO much like Tobey Maguire and I found out today that he has autism.


Is it true that people with autism don't make eye-contact because today he fully looked me in the eyes (I admit it was the first time in 6 months that I've worked there with him that's he's done this)  and I smiled but he quickly looked away.

And later when he came back ( all the grocery employees bring boxes to the front so people can put their groceries in) I looked at him again and this time it was like a turning eye-contact/smile. He looked as if he was trying to smile back.

I thought it was kinda sweet but then again.. I don't really know him. He's pretty cute though. :)

So what cha think?!

I was hoping, I was dreaming that we could someday change.

It's different for each individual person. It also depends on the severity of their autism.
