Yeah but unfortunately it won't be cause in Japanese society people with social anxiety or other "communication disorders" are usually shunned or ignored so manga's dealing with these problems almost always fail to sell well. The only reason Watamote got an anime is cause 4Chan saved it cause they sympathized with the protagonist (cause let's be honest, if there is one group of real life people as cringe inducingly weird as Watamote, its the people on 4Chan)
I mean, a lot of really major moe archetypes basically stem from some sort of communication disorder on some level or another if you think about it. And then you've got series like suki tte ii na yo and morita-san wa mukuchi (or hell, hifumi from new game, yukiho from idolmaster, sae from amagami...).
Not to mention, Japan has been opening up more toward social and emotional disorders over the past several years.
