Amy changes pretty drastically as the show goes on, so I’d say no. At the very beginning she’s essentially a woman version of Sheldon, but I’d say that by season 5 she’s just very socially awkward and weird
While the show makes a point not to label either character autistic, it’s clear that they’re coded in a way to present as autistic.
I believe they are both on the spectrum, but that Amy is better at recognizing social cues and is more open to participate in social customs that she doesn’t understand due to her history being an outcast.
Also, I just recently watched the series for the first time and loved it. You’re in for a fun time.
