Hey! It’s really nice you‘re actually concerned about it!! I‘m autistic, what I‘ve learned is that people make eye contact to show that they‘re interested. So it‘s really hard for me to tell whether you enjoy the conversation or if you‘re annoyed by my stutter (or me) if you don‘t at least look at me (not necessarily eye contact). But that‘s just me!!!! I‘ve had people talk to someone else or finnish their sentences while I‘m stuck and that I think is really rude. Thanks for caring :)
