Choosing not to socialise can be a feature of autism. Autistic people are not anti-social but struggle with social interaction so may avoid being social or may be excluded socially. Some autistic people are very social but can only cope with short periods of time intracting with others socially because it is a lot of work to be social and being social on top of coping with other issues.
