I wouldn't put too much thought into what the behaviorist said. She must not know yorkies too well.
Lillie was the same way. She didn't want to be picked up, cuddled or anything. She just liked playing with the others. I remember I would pick her up and try to give her a kiss and she would even turn her head away, lol.
She is now the biggest cuddle bug I have. She completely changed, she just needed to grow up first. She even sleeps under the covers snuggled up right beside me every night now. And now she loves my attention and being picked up, she will smile and dance for it.
Destiny was a bit like that as well when I first brought her home and I've heard many others who had yorkies that were the same way. They've all changed as they became adults.
Just give him time to grow up and show him love and affection. Once he matures I can bet you he will change and be a cuddle bug. Just let him enjoy his puppyhood for now.
