“He Built Towers.
Lined Up Cars.
Completed Puzzles.
But Never Called Us.
Never Said, ‘Look What I Did.’
Never Looked For Our Smile.”
Ved, 3.5 years old, was brilliant.
- Stacked blocks taller than himself.
- Arranged toys by color and size.
- Solved shape puzzles faster than his cousins.
But he never:
- Called someone to see his work.
- Looked back at anyone for approval.
- Shared joy or invited pride.
“He wasn’t shy.
He was alone — even in his achievement.”
🧠 Why Absence Of Joint Attention Is A Major red Flag
At Pinnacle® Surat, early intervention specialists explain:
“One of the earliest signs of autism is the absence of joint attention —
the instinct to share something interesting or exciting with another person.
A neurotypical child says, ‘Look at this!’
An autistic child often does not — not because they don’t care, but because they don’t instinctively connect joy with others.”
Clinical signs:
- Doesn’t point to show or share
- Doesn’t look back at parent after completing a task
- Enjoys play but doesn’t invite others into it
- Finishes puzzles, drawings, or play sequences without acknowledgment
- No “Look Amma!” “See this!” moments
“They’re not disconnected from things.
They’re disconnected from sharing them.”
📞 The Day His Creation Was Never Seen
Ved spent 30 minutes building a train out of blocks.
- He placed it perfectly.
- Made the sound “choo choo” to himself.
- Walked away silently.
His mother entered — saw it — and smiled.
He never noticed.
“That day, we understood —
his greatest moments were happening with no one to witness them.
And that broke us.”
They called 9100 181 181.
The counselor said:
“It’s not lack of talent.
It’s lack of shared experience instinct.
Let’s help him learn to show — and feel joy through others.”
They booked a free AbilityScore©® Joint Attention Screening.

He wasn’t introverted.
He was missing a bridge between action and connection.
🤖 How TherapeuticAI©® Helped Him Build — And Share
His plan focused on transforming independent play into shared celebration.
- “Show and Share” cue cards after play
- Peer play with therapist prompting attention
- Role-play games: “Tell me what you made”
- Visual tracking of “play → point → praise” cycle
- Parent training: Celebrate effort even before it’s invited
By week 5:
- Ved looked at his mother and said “Look train!”
- Waited for applause before knocking down blocks
- Brought his art sheet to his father and whispered “See?”
- Smiled when his work made someone else smile
“He didn’t just build toys.
He learned to build relationships through them.”
💬 What His parents Say Now
“We were proud of his skills.
But sad about his silence.
Now we know —
he was always creating.
He just didn’t know how to celebrate it with us.
Pinnacle® gave him that joy.”
