The traits you list as \\\"ambiguously coded autism\\\" are, to this troper\\\'s opinion, simply caused by her being a naive, child-like character who spent better part of the last thousand years sleeping and therefore works as both a bit FishOutOfTemporalWater (that\\\'s why she speaks in slightly archaic manner, at least in English) and as a kid who simply didn\\\'t have time to grow up.
She doesn\\\'t really exhibit the usual problems in communication listed as autistic behavior - she\\\'s not avoiding communication, doesn\\\'t have problems understanding or expressing emotions, she\\\'s just inexperienced at social interaction due to being shielded by her \\\"brother\\\" to an extreme degree and spending better part of the last few hundred years asleep. She\\\'s actually shown to be quite capable of empathy.
She also does not speak monotone, unless you\\\'ve only seen like... 3 supports.
Being an absolutely hopeless liar isn\\\'t a trait exclusive to autism, either, especially since Seteth himself is not really great at keeping the ruse (he slips way more often than that, but the most obvious are his supports with Hanneman). It speaks more of complete lack of preparation along the lines of DidntThinkThisThrough than any mental disorder, ambiguous or otherwise.
Common trait of AS is also obsessing with detail-oriented work, which is something that Flayn \\\'\\\'explicitly sucks at\\\'\\\' (according to her support with Linhardt).
... actually, speaking of Linhardt, he actually does exhibit more common autism-related traits (doesn\\\'t glue with others on emotional levels/has different understanding and priorities regarding basic emotions, tends to obsess over things to the point of forgetting even basic needs, speaks quite monotone, etc.). Not entirely sure if his entry lists this, but I do believe I did see it there. Flayn is nothing like him.
And the reason I list anime stereotype is simple: anime exaggerates character traits and emotional states of characters. Flayn is simply a typical (if uncommonly expanded) version of a profoundly naive, shut-in girl (... since characters like these usually tend to be girls for some reason... odd) who spends the course of the game learning about the world. Nothing in the game suggests her being autistic.
