child not talkin & not responding
1. He doesn't speak
2. He has communication problems and doesn't really tell us what he
wants. He takes our hand sometimes shows the article that he wants.
3. He spins toys, so sometimes when he plays he will spin that toy
4. He sometimes eats things off the floor but he is a fussy eater
6. He still doesn't respond to his name most of the time - sometimes
it feels like he hasn't heard us.
7. When outside, if set free he will run, smiling at his freedom
8. He sometimes flaps his hands when he wants something, wants to be
picked up or is excited.
9. He can become pre-occupied and in concentration especially with the
television
But on the flip side:
1. He looks everyone in the eye and can fix eye contact
2. He shares his joy with us and is always smiling and displaying
affection. He laughs a lot and can get very excited when he us having fun, although he can watch TV for long periods
4. He understands when we are cross, or if we are playing, or if we
are hiding from him etc. He knows our mood by looking at our face.
5. He loves cuddles and loves being close to us and his grandparents
6. He can take turns in play e.g he can play ball, but he does not know to give it back to
7. He is very aware of danger and is careful
8. He is not aggressive and doesn't seem to get frustrated
7. He doesn't point to things generally but points to devitional books and devotional songs
8. He doesn't injure himself, but bang his head when he does not get his articles.
9. He isn't compulsive or ritualistic - he doesn't line up his toys or
expect certain rituals to be observed
11. If we ask him for a kiss he does not kisses us, if we ask him to not do
something he stops, if we get cross with him he knows he has done
wrong and gets upset
12. He is aware of the outside world, loves to watch traffic, cars and lorries

How old is he??
He should be seen by a child psychologist to be evaluated if he is on the autism spectrum. As you underlined, he does have some symptoms. One does not need to have all the symptoms to be on the spectrum.
My son has been diagnosed as Asperger, mild. He loves to cuddle and has never lined up any objects. At 2.5 he is starting to speak but most often we don't understand him (we will soon). He loves cleaning activities around the house.

It would seem that the only real problem is his not speaking. Assuming he is normal in other respects, if he is under the age of three I would not worry about this. (Does he make noises?)
It sounds like there may be something going on. Possibly Autism. Speak to your child's doctor about getting tested for autism, or another behavioral disorder. It sounds like it may be one or the other.
Has his hearing been tested? Has he been assessed by a developmental specialist?
