as an autistic kid I got criticized for not making eye contact. so as an adult I trained myself to make very consistent eye contact (easier said than done). this in turn has led to some people telling me it’s “kinda weird” that I “stare so much.” the moral of this story is there is actually no pleasing neurotypicals

I had a similar problem in Primary school, ‘cause I was always looking out the window instead of at the board. My mum would always be like:

‘Does she put her hand up to answer a question?’

‘Yes…’

'Is it the right answer?’

'Yes…’

'Then what’s the problem?’

this! this is a great way to support your kid. behavioral quirks are only problems if they get in the way of a child’s personal progress or are actually disruptive or harmful. neutral behaviors like not making eye contact are fine, and we need to change the expectation that a social behavior is 'wrong’ just because it is less typical.
