A lot of disorders share similar traits of autism even if they're not necessarily autistic. For example, Fragile-X syndrome can share a lot of autism traits even if the individual isn't autistic.
Symptoms of Fragile-X syndrome can include:-
Language and developmental delays
Hand-flapping
Lack of eye contact
Anxiety and meltdowns
Sensory issues
Trouble with social relationships
It's funny how mental health disorders are mentioned here more than developmental disorders, even though autism is a developmental disorder and not a mental health disorder.
I just think of those syndromes as a form of Pervasive Developmental Disorder, to get very technical.
