In the movie he was called an Idiot Savant. This generally falls under the large Autism umbrella now. He would have been considered very high functioning, although it was clear he was very set in his routines and they made him feel comfortable and he could function much better in the environment he could control or anticipate.

He is a savant, which is a person with autistic disorder with a genius talent or ability. The most common forms involve mathematical calculations, memory feats, artistic abilities, and musical abilities.

He was an autistic savant, but in his case severely autistic. Most autistic people are nothing like that and can even function in society somewhat "normal".
