Lack of Eye Contact
Video Summary
Lack of eye contact is one of the possible warning signs for autism. Chistian K. avoids making eye contact with his mother even when he is very close to her, sitting in her lap. Rather, Christian appears more inclined to peer at his candy from different angles than to look at his mother, a sensory seeking behavior often seen in autism.
