đ§ŠNot every child communicates the way we expect and thatâs okay.
If your child avoids eye contact or struggles during peer interaction, it doesnât always mean disinterest, rudeness, or lack of confidence. It could be a sign of challenges in social communicationđŖī¸ where understanding, responding, and connecting with others feels overwhelming.
For many children on the autism spectrum, things like eye contact can feel uncomfortable, and social situations can be confusing or overstimulating.
The goal isnât to force them to âact normalâ...itâs to understand their world, support their needs, and help them communicate in ways that feel safe to them.âĨī¸
