Evening all.
I currently work in lots of schools in my role, and I just wanted to canvass opinion - I know I could google but if appreciate some personal responses!
One of the children I'm likely to be working with has a recent diagnosis of ASD. Naturally, how it might affect each individual's interactions with others will differ, however, this you g man has difficulties with maintaining eye contact.
In our initial meeting, the member of staff who introduced us kept insisting that he "looked at me whilst I'm talking to you".
I might be wrong, but I felt as if this might be something that would hugely increase anxiety?
I'll be upfront and say that I am a clinical psychologist, and it's a part of my role to help staff work with children with different needs in mainstream education, though I am not an ASD specialist. Before I potentially speak with staff, if like to hear responses about the issue!
Thank you!
