If it can, then it has gone by with no notice. Most likely, researchers have not yet looked into it, since autism is a speech and communication disorder, and few animals can speak (gray parrots are one of the only species that can utter actual words that humans can understand). On the other hand, it has been proven that some animals can be mentally challenged or suffer brain damage, and certain animals show signs of depression when a mate or their owner dies. But at this point, it has not been shown that animals can exhibit autistic behaviors.
