Athena Cykes is hecka autistic (as is the submitter)! She has hypersensitive hearing, to the point of sensory overload, she stims with her earring and her hair, and despite being a legal, psychological, and linguistic prodigy, she's lacking in social awareness and can be quite clumsy. Even her hyperempathy and use of assistive technology to communicate and process sensory input are very similar to many autistic people, and she related to robots more than people as a child! All in all, even though it was probably unintentional, in my eyes she's pretty unambiguously autistic.
