I've never really found such. The closest I have is this anime/Light Novel called Haganai, but even then, all it did was vaguely imply its characters had autism.

I'm interested to see if there are anime or games that even fairly, clearly touch on ASD.

There's a PC game called "To the Moon" that has a character that has autism. They don't flat out tell you but they drop so many obvious clues telling you that she does. It's a very good story game and it's short, around 4 hours. Autism isn't the main focus but it plays a part in the story. There's another character, minor one, that has autism as well and talks about the struggle living with neurotypicals, they even used that term.

The overall story is about a team of scientists attempting to fulfill a dying man's wish, which is to fly to the moon. The man's married to the autistic woman. Good game, tissues may be needed.

The protagnist in Life is Strange is AS. Its an easter egg in the game where you find out she has an IEP and a learning disorder.

Maybe I'll check that out, too. Though, if the only thing pointing her to being AS is something saying she has a learning disorder, that's not quite clear enough.

My daughter showed me this the other day and I thought it would be great to try making a character within Sims, just to see what happens if it will replicate the traits. I found this vid informative anyway even though I dont play, my kids do.

Oh she has clear signs of AS. They are pretty easy to spot throughout the game.
