That is absolutely normal. My two year old gets totally overwhelmed by anything new (like an arcade) and sort of shuts downs.
When toddlers say bye bye, its because you told them you were leaving . That's what you taught him! When someone has to leave, it is ok bc they will come back later and you should say bye-bye.
And the name calling thing -- he's probably just more interested in whatever he's doing at that time than you. Get used to that -- it will never change!
Because his is very different at different times, I highly doubt this is autism. However, there are different degrees of autism. Do some internet reasearch and talk to your doctor.

it sounds totally normal to me! i have a 2 yo.. when we are out he doesnt always stay with me either. thats still normal at this age! kids at just-two years old dont really play WITH each other, they side-by-side play.. thats totally normal.. kids dont really start playing WITH each other much until 3 or 3 1/2. its normal for him to be apprehensive in strange places and around strange people as well. Autism signs usually start showing up around a year old, so you probably would know if he had autism by now.

Take him to the pediatrician and have his hearing checked. Hope it's just the 'terrible two's'. He may be displaying his independence, like most 2 year olds do.

hi Trevor. before everything, it extremely is powerful which you have time-honored your sexuality. An appeal to youthful boys is extremely something else. Do you have a gay buddy in whom you may confide your emotions? i individually do have self assurance that, as quickly as you discover yet another grownup male, you would be waiting to triumph over this appeal. I wish you nicely.

Its not normal. My son behaved the same way, was very affectionate, and he is mildly autistic. Its a misconception that autistic children are not affectionate. I would recommend contacting your pediatrician and having him refer you to a neurologist or developmental pediatrician to have him evaluated.
If god forbid he is, its not a death sentence - with proper therapy and early intervention (its key!!) he will do absolutely fine!

Consult your pediatrician. He/She is the only person that can give you the advice that you need. Also, has anything HUGE happened recently that your child is adjusting to?
