For some with developmental disabilities such as autism, they are NOT comfortable either looking someone in the eye nor with being looked at in the eye. Also, it is not necessarily a sign of respect to do so but can be seen as intimidating. I am reminded too of the Native American children who were forced to abandon their culture in white schools, and when the Indian children avoided looking the white teachers in the eye, they were punished for being disrespectful when in fact, in their culture, NOT looking an elder in the eye was a sign of respect, not disrespect. Anyway, just dropping this note as an FYI, that not everyone with a developmental disability wants people to "look them in the eye." I wish they had chosen a different slogan to encourage respecting those who are different from the majority. I mean no disrespect to them and applaud their cause and intentions. Peace
