Yes, it makes sense. He may have a lesser form of autism (asperger syndrome).

I wish i knew some info, i think that is sorta along the line of aspergers possibly, how old is he? He might be a high functioning form of autism but like i said i dont know a whole lot of info on it other then things ive looked up randomly when i was worried about my son.
