Eye contact is a weird thing for me. Either I stare or I constantly flicker my eyes from thing to thing or look away or whatever. Um. It depends on how comfortable or uncomfortable I am. I usually end up looking at their nose and it satisfies them.

Supposedly eye contact is just a western culture thing anyway.


Sarcasm is a learned response. I've become quite good at using sarcasm deadpan but I always have to ask myself twice if I think the other person is being sarcastic but not being obvious about it. (Someone once tried to teach me that sarcasm was this excessive, grossly exaggerated thing. I made a sarcastic remark and the person was offended and I said I was being sarcastic, and then they're like, "No, that's not sarcasm. This is sarcasm. Ask me if those are my pants." Me: "Are those your pants?" Her: "Noooo, they're your Aunt Carrie's. Of coooouuuuurse they're my pants." No thanks. I prefer subtlety in my sarcasm.)
So there are neurotypicals that have trouble with sarcasm just like those on the spectrum.
