ASSUMED MOVIE, TV AND CARTOON CHARACTERS W/ ASPERGERS
Anyone mentioned The Matrix's Agent Smith yet? I used to identify hard with the Agents (yes, that probably should have told me something about myself) back when I was in Matrix fandom. Smith gets a taste of humanity--autonomy, emotions, etc.--and instead of handling it in a 'reasonable,' social way, decides to explore individuality by making everyone else *him* and taking complete control of his environment. Talk about being unable to understand/accept that others think differently...
Of course, he's also a totally fictional non-human character, so I'd never say he 'had' ASD. More I'd say it's easier to project oneself into the character, for me, than into many other characters. (I know my on-the-spectrum father loves Walter on Fringe, and has also hooked on to watching Person of Interest recently, and boy am I guessing I know why.)

I'm sure Sherlock (BBC) has been mentioned, but I find him fascinating! He seems to not have face blindness though, and picks up on details that I would definitely miss. I haven't really analyzed whether he picks up on social cues – I need to watch for that! I love when he's oblivious to common-sense NT sort of things, and Watson has to point out the obvious

YES.
Sherlock is definitely an aspie. Usage of "high-functioning" along with sociopath suggests that he knows that he's (more or less) autistic, but thought the term "sociopath" was..."cooler"?
He's not a sociopath. That I am sure. In Series 1 and 2 he's already proven himself to be far more caring than a real sociopath and Series 3 essentially overthrows his own sociopath theory by (blatantly) declaring his...loyalty and...love for John Watson. There are quite a few excellent metas on this subject, I would suggest anyone who's interested to checkout wellingtongoose's theories and analyses on tumblr. (Though wellingtongoose also is against the idea of Sherlock having AS...but that's for another day...)
After all, most usages of "high-functioning" point to ASDs or developmental disorders, do they not?
Oh and prosopagnosia isn't required for an ASD diagnosis. Sherlock also TOTALLY didn't pick up on Molly's social clues on her crush on Sherlock. That is, until [SPOILERS ALERT] the unfortunate Christmas Party when Sherlock deduced that Molly was in love...then discovered that the object of her affection was none other than himself.
Oh, I should probably stop here.

In Sherlock (BBC) Series 2 Episode 2: The Hounds of Baskerville, John briefly mentions Sherlock as Aspie in the following dialogue when he and Lestrade are standing outside Cross Keys Bar
DI Lestrade: "I suppose he like having all the faces back together. It appeals to his...?"
John: "...Aspergers...?"

Arthur "Spud" Spudinski from American Dragon: Jake Long might be on the spectrum. He has the appearance and attitude of a "skater boy", but he has been shown to have hidden depths. In the season one episode "Act 4, Scene 15", Spud revealed that he knew every Shakespearean play by heart. In "A Befuddled Mind", an episode from season two, he answered a multiple choice question with his eyes closed because he'd been focusing on the pattern of the answers to these tests for several years.
Stannis Baratheon.
-Unconventional sense of humour that is often puzzling to others.
-Monotone
-Pedantic
-Preoccupied with justice and propriety
-Often fixates on those who have treated him unfairly.
-Has difficulty showing affection to those close to him (Although, to be fair, his wife is a crazy fanatic).
-Bad at cultivating allies through diplomacy.
-Basically has one friend.
-Shows uncommon talent in one area; namely war strategy.
i think obviously boober fraggle because i have it and i can relate so much to boober. for once, the whole episode of boober rock was based on him finding a nice quiet place to relax. also he has an alter ego named sidebottom and he complains all the time that sidebottom is too much fun and i can't stand sidebottom either. also, my aunt says that i like the muppets because jim henson was an aspie and i am connected to him. also, the creator of pokemon had autism too and there was a girl on my homeschool class and she had several pokemon stuffed animals.
here are some characters that i also think have autism:
.ferb (phineas and ferb)
.ralph wiggum (simpsons)
.lisa simpson (simpsons)
i feel like I probably commented on this thread a long time ago, but why not go again?
-Dustin from Stranger Things
-Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle from MLP
-Ash Ketchum from Pokémon (since Satoshi Tajiri, creator of Pokémon and namesake of Japan's version of Ash is an aspie, this is a totally plausible theory)
-Dr. Alphys and Papyrus from Undertale
-George Beard and Harold Hutchins from Captain Underpants (they have confirmed ADHD)
-Sarah from Sarah & Duck (yeah, it's a preschool show I know >.>)
-Big Bird from Sesame Street (Julia is worth mentioning as well of course)
my list could go on forever, but I'll end it here!

Eeee I love listing my headcanons!
-Barclay from Star Trek
-Data from Star Trek is an android and thus can't technically have autism I know but I like to think that Soong had autism and based Data's brain at least partly off his own and so Data's kinda autistic too
-Julian Bashir from Star Trek
-L from Death Note. The first episode I watched with him, it's like my brain lit up with joy because I related so much!
-Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter
-Ben Wyatt and Leslie Knope from Parks and Rec
-Dwight Schrute from The Office
-Twilight from My Little Pony
-Jessica from the movie Prancer
-Rapunzel from Tangled, yeah I know a lot could be explained by her lack of socialization but I like to think of her as autistic anyway
And lots, lots more who I can't think of at the moment.

“My autism is not a superpower. It also isn’t some kind of god-forsaken, endless fountain of suffering inflicted on my family. It’s just part of who I am as a person”. - Sara Luterman
Diary Of A Wimpy Kid:-
Greg, Rowley and Fregly remind me of Aspies with different personalities and skills from one another. While they may not be stereotypical Aspies, they still remind me of Aspies. Maybe Greg is borderline, but Rowley and Fregly seem most definite Aspies.
Outnumbered:-
The youngest child in the Brockman family, Karen Brockman so badly reminds me of an Aspie. She is often excluded from her peers, and as she gets older she finds it more hard to fit in, despite how chatty she is to adults. She is intelligent, also anxious, and views life differently than most others her age.
