I wasn't saying you were wrong, I was just pointing out the major flaw in that theory, but, I also pointed out what worked. He could have a mild version of the Fragile X syndrome.

As far as BPD goes, he might have it but it can manifest itself in different ways than the simple explanation I gave (its actually an extremely wide range... to the point where what quantifies this disorder is being put in question and being thought of as an extremely specific form of Bi-Polar Disorder) anything from mental breakdowns to acute paranoia to constant and incessant attachment to a person or item and being incapable of functioning without it. (yes I am contradicting myself, yes that makes no sense, but, I like to play the devil's advocate!)

he doesn't only get angry though, notice when he is sad, he takes sadness the hardest, he looks absolutely crushed and depressed, everyone else is glum, but he is completely destroyed, but also he bounces back the fastest out of everyone. Furthermore, when he is happy and excited, there seems to be no limit to what he can do (notice the affinity for electronics) to the point where it is absolutely fascinating (a manic stage). Other forms of the manic stage can manifest itself with another of his extreme mood swings: anger, although he rarely uses it, he feels anger more than anyone else in the group once he finally does snap its the worst of the bunch. (Interestingly enough, this can be attributed to anxiety or depression, Sensory Processing Disorder (which I happen to have a form of!) or autism among others, which has acctually led me to change my opinion from Bi-polar (which might be his BPD) to SPD, continued in the next paragraph)

A person with SPD has mild to significant issues processing their surroundings, it can be anything from a coordination disorder (brain death in a segment of the brain leading to the inability for your body to move in an orderly fashion, manifested in difficulties writing, tying shoes, catching a ball or other acts requiring precision in movement) to information processing disorder (things simply just don't work as fast in your brain, you have all the parts but can't use them) to complete detachment in some areas (only understanding bits and pieces of what is going on ever, the world around you being much more abstract than you can possibly fathom (how caboose see's the world compared to how the world really is)) so this could add to the list of disorders.

There are plenty, although Fragile X has more than one symptom in common with Caboose, it has 2 from what I remember but I believe it was closer to 4, the only non-fitting one being the muscular atrophe, which, being in a super soldier suit that amplifies your movement added with a brain injury from the AI bring ripped out of him could have compensated for
