[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would talk to your doctor about this. I have a niece that has had obvious eye contact problems since a toddler. Her parents ruled out autism and then basically ignored it. Now at 10, she has SEVERE social anxiety issues that have never been addressed and it breaks my heart. They are supportive, wonderful parents, but I feel like they missed an opportunity for early intervention.[/quote] Please try not to think that way; it's not fair to your sibling and IL. It's impossible to second guess these types of things; who knows whether intervention would have helped at this point. Certainly impossible for a third party to do so. Also, in all likelihood, she would have had the social anxiety either way. Therapy could have helped (and still can!) but would not have made this a non-issue. [/quote]
