The proposed legislation goes against recommendation from the  American Medical Association , the  American Academy of Pediatrics  and the  American Psychiatric Association  ― groups that recognize the significant mental health harms from such laws.

Communications experts often extol the benefits of making good eye contact when talking to people. “Eye contact is an incredibly powerful tool in conversations as it demonstrates understanding, respect and acknowledges that you are listening to the person speaking,” communications consultant and coach  Amelia Reigstad told HuffPost . “If you are the one speaking, making eye contact with those in the room shows you are confident in what you are saying and that you want to build rapport.” But not everyone is able to make eye contact while they’re speaking. There are those who find it too intimate or uncomfortable to lock eyes with others. And many people with autism spectrum disorder find it challenging or distressing due to processing issues and overstimulation. “We place a lot of emphasis on eye contact, especially in American culture,” said psychotherapist  Annette Nunez . “But you can have strong relational skills and not make eye contact. It isn’t everything. Treating people w
