一人の少年がとある少女に恋をします。
直接告白することはできず、なんとか彼女の電話番号を手にした彼は、変な電話番号にもあまり気にせず電話をかけるのですが、実は彼女も彼のことが大好きで、両思いだったのです。このことに気づいた彼は大喜びするのでした。
しかし翌日、彼が昨日のことについて話そうとすると彼女は困った顔をします。昨日彼が電話で話した相手は今彼の前にいるその女の子ではなかったのでした。実は、電話機の向こうの彼女はこの宇宙には存在していませんでした。彼女は並行世界の者だったのです。その並行世界では、逆に彼女が彼に片思いをしていたのですが、並行世界の自分は彼女のその思いに気づいていなかったのです。
何だかんだで、電話で知り合った二人はある取り引きをします。自分のもっとも深く、プライベートな秘密を分け合うことで、相手にいわゆる「並行世界の自分の必勝攻略法」を教え合うのです。
その作戦をもってそれぞれ好きな人を追いかけまわる間に、彼らは自分の世界よりも電話機の向こうの相手のことがもっと好きになってしまいます。お話はそういう恋の本質について問いかけます。

So I just watched this show for the first time, and my initial impressions were that the music and atmosphere were both excellent. I loved the overall aesthetic of the show. However, the story was somewhat difficult to follow, especially the ending. But I just have to ask, does Neon Genesis Evangelion's Rei Ayanami have autism?
I mean really, the evidence is plentiful. Autism is characterized by troubles with social interactions and interpersonal communication, often to the degree of completely lacking intuitive social skills. If we just take a look at her school life we can see she clearly displays extremely poor social skills and has no friends as a result (and no, Shinji Ikari doesn't count because their relationship is different). She just keeps quiet and reads all day; poor/lack of speech being another indication of autism.
Furthermore, she also quite evidently manifests inappropriate reactions in situations and clearly has trouble reading the emotions of others. There are many situations that display this. One such is the scene where Shinji's hand has a one-on-one with her breasts, and not only does she have no reaction but she doesn't realize that Shinji was freaking out about it. She does, however, get extremely agitated when she percieves the glasses on the table might be in danger. One symptom of autism is an unusually strong attachment to objects, e.g. those glasses. Slightly tangentially, her room is very austere in decoration. This would make sense if she were easily susceptible to sensory overload.
Another telltale moment is when Rei I begins to insult Naoko Akagi by echoing phrases spoken by Gendo, not realizing that her words were clearly making her very angry, enough so that she got herself murdered. In this instance she not only displays difficulties in emotional understanding, but shows a real lack of a sense of danger, which is also a symptom of autism. Furthermore, echoing is also often a symptom present in autism.
(1/2)
In yet another scene, the elevator scene, Rei II angers Asuka Langley Sohryu to the point where she gets slapped, though she shows no reaction to the slap (pain insensitivity is another common symptom of autism).
A strongly implicating moment comes after they fight Ramiel, the Fifth Angel, and Shinji comes to save her from the pod ejection. At this moment, despite feeling a very clear emotion, she doesn't innately know the proper way to express and release that emotional energy until Shinji explains it to her.
Also, as can be seen in the internal psychological look we get in episode 14, she herself shows how she has troubles relating to others, finding great difficulty in being able to self-conceptualize her role in society, which all seemed to come off as almost alien.
She also shows an instance of inappropriate laughter when she is speaking with Gendo Ikari, as Gendo sucks the joy and happiness out of any room and it is typically impossible to laugh when engaged in conversation with him. This inappropriate laughter would later return when the Armisael, the 16th Angel, begins to fuse with her and also begins to display inappropriate laughter (having picked it up from her, obviously).
One more really minor plot point that also points towards Rei Ayanami having autism would have to be where she becomes a god or something along those lines in the 1997 classic film, End of Evangelion. I don't really remember this part too well, it was pretty minor, but I do remember she displayed more inappropriate laughter during this scene and showed a complete lack of sense of personal space. This part didn't really matter too much and barely took up part of the story, so I don't count this too strongly for the argument.
All in all, i think this is more than enough evidence to convince me that Neon Genesis Evangelion's Rei Ayanami does in fact have autism.
Thoughts?
She's autistic because she's a literal emotionless doll.

It is possible, I mean Shinji legitimately suffers from depression. I think Anno took inspiration from dissociation though. When you see how she was raised it's easy to see why she'd have low social skills and is generally withdrawn.
Let the smug overflow.

Heard it's Isekai, but in the same vein as Maou-sama (aka: fantasy characters going into the modern world).
Will actually look into it.
