[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is not [b]autistic[/b], but I have noticed that he doesn't look at anyone in the face when he talks to them (including me). What's a nice way of telling him that he needs to look at people and not to the side? I don't want him to feel more self conscious than he already does, but I find this strange. Also, this takes practice, right? FWIW, we do come from a culture where people don't necessarily look at people directly when talking to them but he's 2nd generation and has never been to my home country. Coach me through this problem, parents. TIA. [/quote] When you say your DS is not autistic you mean he had been tested or you assume he is not. He can have Asperger's that is a high functioning autism and you can never tell most people have it. One of the symptoms is not looking at people faces. Just in case do check the list of Aspies kids traits. [/quote] Ha. Not true. By definition ASD is extreme.[/quote]
