a more polite shorthand for autismo.

autism-like features that present themselves in social situations as some form of social ineptitude.
somebody with tismo can be smart, stupid, or anywhere in between, but they tend to be hyper-fixated on a few topics that they really love, and have a hard time recognizing when their behavior is socially inappropriate without being explicitly told so.

usually people with tismo are capable of managing themselves in public and living a completely normal life, but there's just something a little off with them, and they sometimes will need special accommodations, like having difficulty going to the grocery store, or needing a quiet room to cool off at a party (often retreating to a car if no such room is available). in social scenarios, they will sometimes use the pretense of drug or nicotine addiction to get away from noise.
you got to meet Dave last night at the party, yeah?

yeah, he was nice, but he spent like 2 hours sitting next to the jacuzzi, talking to three drunk girls about how different models of pool pumps work while they were trying to get him to come into the jacuzzi with them. i think he's got some tismo going on.

yeah, he's quite the character, definitely a bit of tismo.
