Help with my puppy????

Ok so this is a serious question...I want to know if it's possible for a dog to be retarted, (autistic). I have a Pomeranian/yorkie mix about 8 months old and he is honestly the weirdest dog I have ever seen. He is completely in his own world and does things I've never seen dogs do. So I just want to know if it's possible cuz if not then I think I have the worlds first Autistic dog...

P.s. he's awesome anyway and makes us laugh pretty much whenever we see him

Update:

Yeah I know dogs do weird things all the time...especially puppies but this dog is different like I said he is in his own world when you look into his eyes it's like he's not there (if that makes sense), anyways I love my dog and wouldn't trade him for anything in the world.

    Every dogs personality is different ,just like human. It is completely normal, especially when he is a puppy.....

    My previous dog was very weird at the childhood stage, it seems like he always asking himself " what is that? Can it put it into my mouth? i think is fun!!" then...the weirdo things goes on. lolx.

    I don't think he's retarded. He may just be lazy and tired. Does he get enough sleep. Get him more active in the day and take him on runs. Play with him a lot. Then stare into his eyes and say GOOD BOY! then give him a treat and see if he still has that look in his eyes.
