Hi,
I've read in some of these posts about 'forced eye contact' and how this can not benefit a child with ASD.
My son is only nine months but is showing lots of the signs of ASD(poor eye contact & social interaction, not responding to name, doesn't like cuddles or wants to be picked up...). i feel there is definitely something wrong but we've been told to wait until he develops more and to try to encourage eye contact as much as possible. Is this the right advice?
(My son had meningitus at birth and was premature so we were told his development was likely to be affected)
