Question for people who is specialized within Autism or have it themselves?

So I work for a kid with severe autism. He doesn't speak and almost NEVER give eye contact. But yesterday when we were walking he stopped and looked me intsensely in my eyes for a good 5 seconds. And I just said "hi hi" very lighly and smiled and he smiled back and started walking. Is that good or no?

And sometimes he will stop and just hold both of my hands and breath.

I'm asking cause I know austistic people dont show the same as most people do.

Please only answer if you are sure not if you just have experience with working with autism. I have years of experience with autism too but not on a doctorate level
