Give your character a "normal" companion

Alas, there is no "name" for autism in a fantasy world. Of course you can invent a name for it, and even make autistic people known for various talents. Hey, you can even make them eligible for a special Hogwarts-like school.

If you want to follow "show, don't tell" practice, you need to reveal your character's condition in interaction with other characters. Placing another character who would appear to the reader as "normal" would immediately highlight what is different about the main character.
