my DS eye contact was good then got worse, we have found for him that if he is concentrating on looking then he's not so good at doing anything else at the same time, including thinking/ processing/talking, we noticed lots of improvement in eye contact when he started fish oils, took 3 weeks for results to show, thou, i don't insist he looks at me when he is talking cos i get better interaction from him when he isn't looking.

Don't worry too much. Ds1's eye contact is excellent, despite being severely autistic, it's something everyone always comments on (wow look at his eye contact). Ds2's (NT through and through) eye contact is pretty crap imo, I think he's a little shy.

DS1 stims using the corner of his eyes (so he watches lots of things from the corner of his eyes on purpose), could your dd be doing that.,
