Thank you all so much. You have really given me some good insight. Regarding saying "Hi" to strangers, since either the stranger or he is usually walking, or stops briefly, it is easy for him to disengage the eye contact. This is probably why he does it of his own free will. We don't ever force him to stare at anyone. If he wanders off, we will say, that's just how he is and leave it at that. No one has ever challenged us to do otherwise and when it comes to my children, I can be pretty aggressive so people usually just leave them alone.
When he get's older, I will teach him that 3 second rule too (I will need to use it for myself also). I am NT but I don't like extended eye contact, especially with a superior. My mother is the same. I think it's a cultural thing though. It just feels too personal. I can maintain eye contact with family and some friends. But apart from that, it just feels too personal.

Just for the record, I find you to be extraordinarily strong. Few NTs seem to have the courage to do what you are doing for their kids. I could simply not understand them...but still I think you are to be commended for your efforts to communicate with us.
Please keep posting here at WP. Your questions about your littles help me understand myself.
Thanks so much! This is my baby and I would do anything for him. I want him to be as confident, successful and happy as he wants to be. I think when we understand him, we help him to understand himself and the world we all live in. We won't be alive forever so we want to help him to get to that point of self reliance. I am blessed to have the family I have.
