No idea if it counts, but Jenny XJ9 - She has emotions and all, but her "mom" forgot to plant some social situation understanding chip or something....She has no tact (For example, the kindergarden episode), as innocent as hell, and has rage episodes (The episode with the amusement park)...
Pretty stereotypical, but Dexter from Dexter's Lab. A science-obsessed "boy genius" with social problems, hates being outside his lab...

He's so innocent, my childhood's male version...

Chris from The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. Maybe. Thing is, it's blatantly obvious he's on the spectrum, but AS/Autism isn't meantioned even once during the story, so whether or not he's been formally diagnosed is debatable. However, he was written intentionally to have these traits.
Isn't he HFA?

Jon from "Garfield" could be Aspie too as their only friends seem to be their animals and they don't date much if ever. Jon is particularly bad about what he thinks women would like vs. the reality.
Poor guy....

True....

I 4th or 5th Butters from South Park...even today, I get accused of talking/acting like Butters..and he sorta reminds me of myself as a child...
Same here...

I saw Spirited Away a couple of times. Shihiro (or Sen) looks young, but the problem could also be autistic. She is rather clumsy, is distracted easily when in a new environment. Shihiro is afraid of breaking rules and is really honest. Shihiro does not seem to make friends easily and tries to prove herself by doing a job. But since she is never in a situation with other children, it is a bit difficult to judge.
She is also innocent, has a visual memory (her shoe falling down the river and her name, for example)

Lilo from Lilo and Stitch. Don't believe me? Watch it again and you'll see it.
Might be related to her parent's death and her relationship with her older sister...

Did any one else mention:
The Princess and the Pea? That Princess that couldn't sleep because there was a pea in her bed, would most likely be Aspie, ha. imo... I just thought of that just now... Every now and then, a fairly small bread crumb will bother me and feel like a "little boulder" in the bed.. Just like I hated elastic clothing as a kid, like tight underwear, it could be a sensitivity issue...
Being over-sensitive isn't always ASD-related. My NT dad has a very, very sensitive ear. He gets angry with me for chewing a gum about 10 meters away from him, yet he has no other sensory issues (but horrible eyesight - fixed by thick glasses)

--What about Matilda, from Roald Dahl's book of the same name?
She's too emotionally mature.
I think she's just a math genius and lacks basic attention from her parents...

Dib, Gaz and Professor Membrane - Invader Zim
Sheldon-My Life As a Teenage Robot (I can't believe I actualy watched that)
Chuckie Finster-Rugrats
Dib is either OCD or AS (he's diagnosed as OCD, I say he's a misdiagnosed AS!)
Gaz is great at social skills - she manipulates others. She's just a lone wolf...
Pro. Membrane cares a lot about social cues, ans is annoyed whem Dib don't get them. He's just workaholic.
Sheldon is probably too. But don't forget Jenny!

Not even close! NOBODY in South Park shows empathy. You can't tell if he's making eye contact because of his shades. He doesn't have a monotonous voice (you can hear his real voice in Mexican Staring Frog). He's one of the few people on South Park another has actually identified as a friend. He likes to party hearty (see Red Badge of Gayness). I have not seen him do anything that could be called stimming.
The best ASD characters on South Park are Butters and possibly Timmy.
1. Stan & Kyle show the only empathy...
2. Buttes is so AS, Timmy is either LFA or a very strong mental retardation. & don't forget Jimmy(no eye contact, logical thinker, odd speech)!

Timon from The Lion King (I don't like DXing animal characters unless they are overly anthromorphized but Timon is a poster child)
Zim, Dib, Gaz and Professor Membrane from Invader Zim
When Timon's mom says he takes things literally, it was obvious.
Zim has a Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Gaz has great social skills, she just dislikes using them. Pro. Membrane is workaholic.

Here's my suspicions:
Daria - I felt so similar to her it was odd.
Lilo - They're beaaaaauuuuuutiful! *dances to music that's age inappropriate*
You have a reason to suspect.
