"Special" used to be a term used to refer to special needs children.
Though, it's largely been determined to be politically incorrect these days, I'd be surprised if there aren't still pockets of people clinging on to old fashioned terms like this... I mean, there are still communities that live with racist views - and that's been widely accepted as wrong for longer.
I also look among the autistic community - and there are pockets of people there who are still clinging to Asperger's, even though that has been merged into Autism Spectrum Disorder recently...
So, I typically think that they are likely autistic or introverted.
