autism can present in several forms..this seems like autism..its a form of pervasive developmental disorder..i suggest you consult a neurologist who could onfirm this by neuroimaging..i would also like to add that its a progressive disorder where child may develop communication abnormality in future.so its better you consult neurologist..there are available modalities of treatment like anti psychotic and anti depressants drugs, speech and language therapy social skill therapy..but however after all this independent survival is unlikely..
