Crimson Wife Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 The researchers found that it is low social motivation that best explains the difficulty in maintaining eye contact. Makes me curious if oxytocin spray would help improve eye contact by increasing the motivation to interact socially. My DD was on oxytocin for a while and it did seem to help. We had to stop when we changed health insurance in late 2013 and it was no longer covered. But I'm hoping to get her back on it when we finally get off the waiting list to see the integrative neurodevelopmental pediatrician. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 One thing you could research before deciding is the face processing deficits/ face blindness (prosopagnosia) often found in autism. It is one angle the study you linked did not factor in: http://mappingautism.com/face-blindness-and-autism/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2174902/ I would also do some more research on oxytocin.
