I don't know when Luke literally became autistic. Was it written in his DNA? Did it become inevitable when he was exposed to some seemingly innocuous environmental factor? Maybe it could be pinpointed by milestones, or lack thereof, at around 18 months when the rate of his language regression began overtaking the rate of his language acquisition. The potential must have always been there.
( But the human mind doesn't look at things that way. )
