>>Also, she has a big obsession with animals and knows quite a bit about them.<<
Okay, that's really useful. You could write about how she notices animals first when walking into a room, or maybe she prefers the company of pets to people, and she might like reading books full of animal facts. Most folks like animals, so this will help in understanding the character; but they will express it differently, so her expressions will help in understanding autism.
>>For me it's anime, paranormal or pokemon. It always has been.<<
Well, there's another idea for a positive autistic character: the paranormal expert whom people ignore until their nice normal life blows up in their face and they come begging for help. Which is not all that fictional, really.
