I didn't recognize that I had issues with it but I had issues with it for years. Subconsciously (probably because my mother was such a stickler for eye contact when we were in trouble) I look at facial features and focus on one that lets me fake eye contact, but I don't often meet the eyes of people.

I'd also like to note that people with both ASD and ADHD often have symptoms that can mask each other, allowing us to pass as not having one or the other Neurodivergences. So just because someone doesn't see ASD in your behavior doesn't mean that you don't have it.
