No, it's not quite obvious or he would already be diagnosed. This is what I am talking about, you can't just go, "oh this internet website says people with an austism spectrum disorder may have these symptoms, and little johnny looks like he has three of them so he must be autistic". He could have any number of mental illnesses besides aspergers that share similar symptoms, but aspergers seems to be the fad at the moment so everyone is jumping on board. Trained professionals sometimes have problems with diagnosing properly.
