I agree.
It does sound like something could be going on. It makes me sad for him too; whether due to personality or other reason, I think it's got to be confusing to him, too!
It makes me think of being in a foreign country where you don't speak the language. People are talking to you, pointing and smiling, but you just don't
get it. Finally, your loved one comes to take you home, only to take you back the next day.
OP, you stated that he wants your attention, but what does he want you to DO? Does he make eye contact, want you to sing to him or read to him or play with him? Or does he just want you to be next to him?
Here is an article I found. Do you see him in any of these kiddos?
