My adorable grandson is 19mth old and does not make eye contact when he sees me.He knows his alphabet numbers and shapes but socially struggling integrating with others. Does not like noise and spends long periods of time playing alone. I so want to connect with him. Its breaking my heart. Please good advice needed

  • Well he's verbal so why not just talk to him. Believe me he listens to what you say, especially if you say something interesting. And at that age he'll soon have enough language to respond with fairly long thought out sentences. In fact the more you talk to him the faster he'll pick up complex language. If he's like me at that age soon you won't be able to shut him up.
