Well, as a younger sibling of two boys who had Aspergers back when it was considered Aspergers Syndrome (when did that become Autism Spectrum Disorder, by the way, I am honestly curious), has a cousin who is autistic, and dated two different people with Aspergers, I can say that Ruby does fit some things. But, if she did have it it would not be a major case - very minor in fact. This is more based on how quickly she and Jaune became friends (which goes aginst the 'autistic people have trouble making friends, but can do it), and then she and Emerald became friends later on, as well as that while she loves weapons and coos over them, I have seen many people who are not autistic do the same thing.

It's a common thing in everybody's life - you find something you love, you love to learn about it.

I'm not saying she isn't, but I am making a case for people to be reading too much into her personality and labelling her, when there really isn't any need to. She's Ruby Rose, the main protagonist. Does it really matter if a doctor from our world would diagnose her as autistic?
