Was he autistic?
I'm no doctor, but I know enough about autism and enough about Tolkien to say that he was somewhere on the autism spectrum. I think it was a mild case of autism, but it was there.

Sometimes it doesn't take a doctor. One doesn't need a medical degree to identify obvious signs and symptoms.

He has the symptoms of being an Oxford philologist, WW1 veteran and member of the English upper class. Find one from that group who doesn't have autism by today's standards.
