I think his preferred method of communication is through memes. He might find it validating. Perhaps, you can try talking to him via memes too.
I know I love memes, and I send them to my friends even if they don't send me any. What I'm saying when I send one is (1) this is something that I relate to, (2) this made me think of you and that's good because it means you're important to me (penguin pebble), (3) I like sharing things that make me happy with you because I want you to be happy, and (4) I feel safe being open about this with you. If he's anything like me, he has a secret stash of memes he's holding onto until he feels safe and connected enough to someone to share them.
