Possibly. Autistic : Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has the deficits in social communication that you describe along with deficits in reciprocal social interaction plus stereotyped, repetitive movements &/or narrow, restricted areas of interest. Diagnostic evaluation, often made at a Developmental/Behavioral Clinic, includes a search for genetic & other medical causes of ASD. See: autismsocietyofindia.org for resources.
