Does Ishmael have some sort of autism? Why is he so damn descriptive about every little detail he encounters? And he seems to have trouble communicating basic details to people

No, Ishmael does not have autism.
Melville does.

He's on a whaling ship. He has tons and tons of free time to just think. You don't suppose everyone is gainfully employed when there's no whale to be seen, would You?
His hyperdescriptivity is just an element of the solitude of seafaring, but unlike his compatriots he is very eloquent and loquacious.
