Fictional Characters I suspect are Aspies.

This rock could be an aspie.

Spock (Star Trek): He many not be an earth humanoid, but if Asperger syndrome and ASD's were inter-dimensional neurological conditions who would certainly fit the criteria.

Reginald Barclay (Star Trek TNG): It's likely he has a mild form of it alongside an underlying, pervasive and debilitating social anxiety disorder.

Lieutenant Commander Data (Star Trek TNG): Not neurobiologically autistic as he is android organism, but he has virtually all of the social ineptitude; eccentricity traits, and fulfills the traditional Aspergian nerd stereotype commonly associated with the high functioning autistic neurotype (and has a compromised emotion chip after all). However, while he has significant problems with social communication, his aptitude in verbal communication is way off the charts compared to most people with ASD, only a small proportion highly gifted or intellectually people with Asperger Syndrome could communicate like that to conceal their social inhibitors. Since he is an android he wasn't designated by his creator to exhibit the sensory issues and motor co-ordination deficits that most autistics have.

Sheldon Cooper (Big Bang Theory): Fits virtually all of the social interaction difficulties and ineptitude; associated with ASD and the traditional nerd stereotype, alongside restricted, repetitive and preoccupied interests in scientific disciplines. It's likely that he would met most of the criteria, but there is no record of sensory issues that is an imperative diagnostic requirement in the DSM 5 which is only thing that I agreed with doing. Some think he has an Obsessive Compulsive Personality rather than ASD.

Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter): Extremely eccentric; somewhat nerdy, bubbly, but sweet natured girl with a lot of individuality. She has the social awkwardness, eccentricity traits and deficiencies in social communication (verbal not non-verbal) commonly associated with the high functioning autistic & Asperger's Syndrome neurotype, but there is no record of her exhibiting any sensory issues or the motor co-ordination deficits associated with ASD that is known of.

Sci Twi (MLP Equestria Girls): Twilight Sparkle's human counterpart was a lot more nerdier, socially awkward and introverted; therefore a far more likely candidate for having Asperger's Syndrome, and she easily fulfilled the traditional Aspergian nerd stereotype along (despite displaying a scientific skeptic mentality, she innovated a fictional quantum device that would unlock and decipher inter-dimensional portals that lead to infinite dimensions that consciously and spiritually evolved conspiracy theorists (inc paranormal believers) would be drawn to, while corrupt government conspirators would love to seize hold of and formally suppress it's existence) with exhibiting the stereotypical eccentricity traits. There is no doubt that social ineptitude difficulties such as shyness were a pre-eminent, but she had no difficulty with one sided and slightly formal verbalized conversations with her friend Sunset Shimmer, then again a great majority of high functioning autistics are capable of this. Her ability to communicate socially (when needed) as a means of compensation is likely to be methodologically attributed to her profound intellectual giftedness and academic ability, which is sometimes possible in a small proportion of gifted aspies (and females with this profile are much better at this and such an opinion is coming from someone who opposes 2nd and 3rd Wave Feminism). Like some of the characters mentioned here however, there is no record of sensory issues or motor-coordination deficits that many autistics have.

Maud Pie (MLP:FIM - Pinkie Pie's sister): Probably the most near 100 percent full blown case ASD that I have witnessed in aspects relevant to restricted and preoccupied interests, and virtually all of the social interaction difficulties as well as the ineptitude. While the record of exhibited sensory issues is unknown, she is a highly likely candidate to be considered on the autism spectrum.

Dr Spencer Reid (Criminal Minds) and Joel Glicker (Addams Family Values - I suspect he is a very overlooked candidate for Asperger's Syndrome) deserve highly honorable mentions too.

Agent 47 (Hitman):
He treats parties and other social events with the same disconnected alienation as military facilities; when he puts on a disguise he's attempting to fit in with the NTs.
He's not very verbal and only trusts a small circle of friends.
Despite being hugely wealthy, he's perfectly happy to spend his time with his special interest; gardening.

It's kind of meaningless to diagnose characters. You are not a professional with experience I assume? Sorry if you are. This site seems to forget that what looks like one mental disorder could be a personality trait, another mental illness, or even a physical problem. I see people on this site acting like a self diagnosis or the diagnosis from someone online means something.
