He is an extreme introvert with ocd tendencies. If he was autistic he wouldn't be so calm when people touched him, instead of showing extreme discomfort he would probably scream or something, the reaction would be much more severe. Also notice how not being touched doesn't make it into the bedroom? Because he isn't autistic, but rather the not being touched is more likely linked to ocd/being an introvert.
well if we are going into detail, we can divide autism into two types, highly functioning autistic adults or low functioning.
the latter part would not be able to live alone, whereas the first one can live a manageable life like he is doing on the show.
they usually have really bad short-term memory which is shown a few times in the show, for instance in the scene where he realises again that he is almost out of drugs 'again', stating it has occured several times.
and mdma has been proven in recent studies to improve the social functions and anxiety of autistic people which could be the reason why he had sex with his dealer, stating 'shit i make bad decisions on drugs'.
also this is getting out of hand so lets just drop it, maybe they will reveal later on what exactly his problem is, i mean it's only the first episode so far
also just because he stays calm when people touch him off drugs does not rule out autism
