My daughter does a lot of what you describe. Although, she uses little or no eye contact. She was diagnosed with high-functioning autism a couple of years ago. She is now ten and every day there are improvements. Some days are not so good. Sometimes I feel it is one step forward and two steps back.

My DVD/VCR combo hit me on the back of the head a few months ago. My head will still hurt if someone touches the spot where it hit. I don't mean any regular headache. I mean a real bad one.
