level of eye contact with infant?
| Mon, 09-19-2005 - 7:11pm |
My 3 1/2 year old is ASD, now I have a new baby in the house and am wondering how soon I can start looking for signs. How well should my baby be making eye contact at 5 weeks? Those with more than one ASD child, were the symptoms obvious to you and when did you first notice them with your second child?
Thanks,
Abbey

My daughter did not start making eye contact until 3-ish months. At 5 weeks their eye sight is probably not developed well enough to start making eye contact really.
Interestingly, my ASD son did make eye contact until about 14 months, when he started to regress.
