Why is it that people with autism dislike making eye contact?




and how does this differ from shyness?

Why is Autism more common in boys than in girls?




I don’t have an Autistic child, but since the disorder is so common now it’s something I’ve often wondered.

I have a 19 year old son with severe autism. His hand is always in his pants and sometimes he even pulls down?




He seems to continously touch himself and stem at the same time. What alternative sensory integration can i provide to help him. It is just not appropriate. it is happening in public places.
