[quote=Anonymous][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]

Thank you for your comment. We have just had the first diagnose from our dev ped and will meet with Child Find next week for screening. All of these are new to us. Could you please advise? My DS is currently a preschooler at a private school. I cringe every time I saw the teacher touches kids' face, not just my child's, but other children' as well. I had thought that's the way the teachers - every teacher - does to get kid's attention.
