Yes, but it also means in the person's own world because back in the 40's psychologists used to refer to a person as autistic if they meant in a dream world, not necessarily that the person had autism as we know it today. The term Kanner syndrome gradually got replaced by the term autism because people with Kanner syndrome had many autistic traits.
