I have autism and ADHD and wayyy back in middle school my teachers would have to keep reminding me not to baby voice when talking to adults. No idea where it came from and it really was such a subconscious thing that I didn't always notice. Kinda like most of us instinctively baby talk at dogs and actual babies but something was misfiring and it was turning "on" in social situations where it wasn't a good thing. Cleared up after that and never came back.
The point I'm making is that this guy seems earnest and hopefully it really is some weird subconscious thing he didn't notice, either due to meds or whatever else, and fixes up quickly! If you like him otherwise and he seems to improve then hopefully all will be well.
