Floaters are little “cobwebs” or specks that float about in your field of vision. They are small, dark, shadowy shapes that can look like spots, thread-like strands, or squiggly lines.

Floaters are very common. They’re not an autistic thing.

Floaters are one of several entoptic phenomena, that is, visual phenomenona arising from within the eye that lead to the perception of floating bodies, circles of light, black spots and transient flashes of light. You can read more about entoptic phenomena  here.
