Central Daylight Time, Autism and Aspergers Treatment writes: contact with others, but for those of you that deal with this, do you feel that it is within the child's ability to make the eye contact when they want to or do you feel that it is something they cannot control? My daughter seems to go out of her way to avoid our eyes and when she catches herself looking ** I believe that this is a BOTH, for your answer. However, knowing that our children have a disability, give them the benefit of the doubt that they are not doing this on purpose. They can focus more and learn to attempt to try to look people in the eyes, but some never are comfortable with that. I am sure that it is something that is very hard for your daughter, more difficult for her than for anyone who does not have Autism or Aspergers. Sometimes the Social Worker from school or the Speech Pathologist can work on this with her. in IL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
