[quote=Anonymous]Ask the DC why they're not making eye contact (if DC can comprehend). I didn't realized I wasn't making eye contact when talking to people until a teacher told me when I was high school! Wish somebody had told me earlier. My DH says I still makes sporadic eye contact, but I do make an effort to make more eye contacts when talking to people now. If your DC does ABA, pls don't have the tell DC to "Look at me!" or have DC make eye contact for x seconds. I've seen ASD kids who stare at people when they're talking / making way too much eye contact, because they're "trained" that way. Instead, do it more naturally, i.e. before responding to your DC, pause until DC looks at you (gives him a smile) or when you're reading a book/talking, pause (as if you're thinking) until DC makes an eye contact, etc.[/quote]
