All Autistic people have poor eye contact because it is not something that comes naturally to Autistic people. Eye contact has to be learned or mimicked by Autistic people, although even then because it's not something instinctive to us we often cannot maintain normal eye contact and it can be uncomfortable for us to try to maintain eye contact. Autistic children are more likely to have problems with eye contact than Autistic adults because they've yet to learn to mimic neurotypical eye contact or learned coping methods to deal with eye contact.
