[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 107361, member: 1550"] For clarification, good eye contact means he will meet the eyes of everyone, not just you. It's common for kids with certain disorders to be able to make good eye contact with their family, but be unable to do so to others. Anyways, I'd take him to a neuropsychologist.
