I haven't seen a more authentic Asperger's character then Sheldon. I'm also not sure what distinguishes awkwardness-based comedy from ironic situations, so I may be approaching from the wrong angle.

One of my early comments was "People are going to think Sheldon has personality traits that have been exaggerated for comic effect.", lamenting the fact that I am and know people further down the spectrum yet still fully functional.
