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




and how does this differ from shyness?

Is it possible, my three month old is exhibiting signs of autism?

I love sushi

She doesn’t like to look at the person holding her. She can and does make eye contact and smiles at people she recognizes, but when some one who is holding her trys to talk to her, she turns her head.

How do I know if my child has autism?

My son has always displayed the more known about signs. However I’m finding it difficult to find a website that will help me see if I am the right ball park. He is six. All the websites are for recognising signs at 2 or 3. Please help.
Some of his signs; Everything has to be divided into colours. He bangs his own head. He is hyper sometimes. He can’t learn to read or write but is great with numbers. He can’t hear me even when I’m right next to him. His hearing tests are perfect. He hates a change in routine. Will NOT have a bath before dinner.
His speech is understandable by me alone, but when he does talk, I think he makes a lot of sense. Everything has to have logic to it. He won’t be fobbed off with answers and will argue the toss for hours. Eye contact is pretty rare although it does happen.

Is not pointing and waving a clear sign of autism?

island girl tell it like it is

what if your child who just turned one, does everything else but does not point or wave, then what? He tries to imitate words, but mostly hums them. His only clear word is Dada

he answers to his name
makes eye contact
plays peek a boo
plays with other kids
claps
gives a kiss when you ask for one
is walking

basically he does everything else.
