What’s NOS? FWIW, I don’t think people would mistake autistic people as enlightened. Charlatans like intense eye contact too much

PDD/NOS is pervasive developmental disability/not specified. It’s common for some of us on the “more functional end” of the ASD curve to be diagnosed that way, or the clinician kinda throws their hands up and “more services with ASD” including my oldest son and I.

It’s also a bit of a stereotype that ASD peeps don’t do eye contact. many of the most common personality quirks of the vast majority of the gr8 yogi/Guru/rshi/acaryas are classic ASD quirks. Perseveration, social awkwardness, affinity for aloneness, etc.

Yes it’s certainly a stereotype, but I suppose even with masking it seems common that many ASD folk have a different relationship to eye contact than NTs. It was a bad joke anyway. This is a parallel I’ve not seen before - thanks for sharing the idea.

I sometimes joke ASD is good for meditation: - special interest in a topic with no promise of worldly gain - ability to concentrate on the same activity for a long time - sensory processing differences, close eye for detail - comfortable being by oneself - rosary/mala = stimming
