Flapping , sensory issues, picky eating, and obsession are all behaviors commonly associated with autism. It is possible to make good eye contact and also be on the spectrum. Personally, it sounds to me like he is displaying many of the signs of what was previously described as aspergers. Many of these may just go away over time, but I would read up on aspergers and see if you feel like that fits your child.
I do have a similar child who is 5, and we are discussing whether or not to get an evaluation.
