Is it possible for jellyfish to have autism

Answer: I believe the answer is no, as to see they have no brain.

Explanation: They have a basic set of nerves at the base of their tentacles which can detect touch, temperature, salinity etc. Since they don't have a brain, they depend on automatic reflexes in response to these stimuli! Catching prey is also a matter of chance. Lacking brains, blood, or even hearts, jellyfish are pretty simple critters. They are composed of three layers: an outer layer, called the epidermis; a middle layer made of a thick, elastic, jelly-like substance called mesoglea; and an inner layer, called the gastrodermis.
