Benjamin on Exercise Ball with Mom
Video Summary
Benjamin is enjoying and engaging in a social game. Benjamin makes eye contact, vocalizes and smiles to let his mother know that he likes the game. Many children with autism will not make these social overtures because they are either disinterested in such social games or attracted only to the physical sensations associated with them.
