Yes, there can be speech delay without autism.

Impaired hearing or chronic hearing infections can result in speech delay. A lower than average IQ can result in speech delay. Another possible cause is a lack of oral interpersonal experiences (e.g. parents unavailable to spend time with the child such as when working long hours or one is extremely ill, mute parents, isolation due to a medical condition). Other conditions that can cause speech delay include tongue or other mouth problems, brain lesions, or seizures.

What is the name of the person studies autism?

A person with autism is said to be autistic. There are also specific forms of autism, such as Asperger's Syndrome, but there is no handy description for such a person, who would still just be called autistic, not Aspergeristic. A person with autism can be described as "a person with autism" or "an autistic person." Some individuals prefer the people-first phrasing - "a person with autism" - because they do not want others to think that autism is the entirety of their being. A person with Asperger's Syndrome is usually not described as autistic because it is not autism. Both autism and Asperger's Syndrome are autism spectrum disorders, also known as pervasive developmental disorders. Some people with Asperger's Syndrome refer to themselves as "Aspergians" or "Aspies," but others do not like them.
