angel it is a difficult social age (or unsociable i should say), i was wondering if you try to get kynan to look at people, i guess the first thing that comes to mind is he might be targeted by kids if he looks at the ground IYKWIM. so i would suggest that you be with him and try to encourage him to look into the person's eyes, by saying things like, where is X's eyes etc... tell me to suck eggs if you don't think this appropriate. i guess he needs you close by when around strangers so you can give a running commentary on what is happening, so he feels safe and there will be no sudden movements. like 'oh look there is a little boy like you, he is coming over to say hello to you, look here is the boy now, look at the boys eyes, he has a red shirt on, he wants to look at what you are doing, you know how you watch other kids play' boy sorry i went on then i guess he knows you know he is scared so he maybe he's looking for boundaries which you can help him with. oscar is a very outgoing, gregarious kid but my middle son was similar in some ways. HTH's and i haven't overstepped the line with my suggestions.
