He can do light work at his own pace, but he also has very bad stress in social situations, making it doubly difficult for him to work a job.

No, don't mark that box. For tax purposes, both 1 and 2 have to be true:

You can’t engage in any substantial gainful activity because of a physical or mental condition.
A qualified physician determines that the condition has lasted or can be expected to last continuously for at least a year or can be expected to result in death. See Physician's Statement.
