What are your autistic character headcanons?
Mine are:
Estinien Varlineau and Urianger Augerelt - FFXIV (to be fair I think most of FFXIV's cast are autistic but these two are the most blatant examples of two different ends of the spectrum)
FitzChivalry Farseer - The Realm of the Elderlings (I've only read the first two books and I'm currently reading book 3)
Alphys and Papyrus - Undertale
Mid Telamon - FFXVI (she's very strongly AuDHD coded but I doubt it's intentional)
Sigma - Overwatch (I know there's also Symmetra and she is my preferred DPS but she is explicitly autistic so idk if she counts)
Akane "June" Kurashiki - Zero Escape
Mizuki Okiura and Iris Sagan - Ai: The Somnium Files
Futaba Sakura - Persona 5 (her English voice actress strongly believes that she is autistic so this one is semi-canon because her VA did research to authentically portray autistic quirks and mannerisms)
Akihiko Sanada - Persona 3
Laios Touden - Delicious in Dungeon (his English VA is also autistic!)
Gale Dekarios - Baldur's Gate 3 (he is intentionally coded as autistic but not with the purpose of being rep but instead to be "annoying" when you first meet him which is :/ but I love him)
Cloud Strife, Sephiroth and Aerith Gainsborough - FFVII
There's dozens more but I'm in a brain fog rn and can't recall them!!

I love that! Now I too headcanon them as autistic. It's been a while since I saw anything undertale, but I think Papyrus was one of my favorite characters.
