Too much TV and screen time at home? I've had two like that - both stared most of the time, very very rarely came up with something to do on their own (they'd copy, but not really creative on their part) and both watched a crapload of tv at home. Their artwork was lovely, but usually exactly what their neighbor was doing ... they'd eat for lunch what the other kids ate that day even if it meant leaving stuff they really liked on their plates ... both had excellent memorization. One of them, if I told her to "play toys" she'd pick up a toy and stand there until she forgot she was holding it, the other would direct herself to go play for a little bit. They were super sweet, loving children but I knew they were staring all the time and it grated on me.
