We have one main concern with our child with Aspergers. Eye contact is very important to me and the people around me. And as I have read before, eye contact is something that is hard for a child with aspergers to do. We cannot get my son to look anyone in the eyes. If he does then it is only for a split second before he looks away again. sometimes he will say he is looking at us but his eyes are diverted elsewhere. Is there an exercise we can do with him to help get his attention on our eyes better?
