[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]What's eye control intervention?  My DD is not on the spectrum (she has inattentive ADHD) but she tells me she is not physically capable of looking people in the eye. I wonder if there is an intervention for that.[/quote]

As an adult, I am unable to keep focus on looking at people in their eyes while talking. Most of it because I am a Vietnamese (Asian) and I was taught to not to do it. Doing so is like being very rude when talking to older people, or challenging the opponent. I think Chinese people also have the same rule. I personally think that making eye contact while speaking isn't a big deal so I wouldn't think there should be an intervention for that.

[b]My DS, also an Aspie, dislikes one of his teachers very much. She forces him to look into her eyes by holding/cupping his face in her hands. My DS doesn't like any stranger - i.e. not his mommy and daddy - touch him so this forcing eye contact always makes him more upset. [/quote][/b]'

Mom of an Aspie here.  This is not the way to handle an Aspie.  Physical touch, confrontation, forced eyes - this is awful.  Are you in pubic?  Do you have an IEP?  Can you call in your IEP teacher.  If private, do you have a counselor or principal you can go to.  This is not right.  Also, legally, touching a study like this could be considered an assault.  You need to take action here.[/quote]
