Not autistic since he has no problem with eye contact. I could be wrong. He is extremely introverted though.
It's a misconception I really really hate because it makes sure women especially don't get the diagnosis they need. I dismissed autism in myself because of the eye contact but never had a professional do so. However, I have read some real horror stories online of other women being denied the autism diagnosis solely because they can make eye contact.

Eye contact has absolutely nothing to do with autism and isn't a sign of nor a diagnosing qualification for autism. He is coded as autistic and bare minimum probably has social anxiety, generalized anxiety, possibly PTSD. He's coded as all of those.
(I'm autistic plus have all those others - I can see the coding of the character)
