I don’t think they ever directly name it in the show (I think they beat around the bush a few times), but I think the only way to code him more as autistic would be to tattoo it on his face.
Also, it’s well established that autism is highly heritable. You don’t have to be low functioning to be neurodivergent.
Very good chance your family is autistic especially if you have it which I am guessing you do given which community you are in. It’s genetic. It’s also very common for older generations to go undiagnosed.
They never said autistic, but there were a couple of times when other characters were talking about him or he was talking about himself that it was clear that they were talking about something more than quirkiness. Maybe you didn’t watch every episode, or you missed the euphemisms that people use to talk about neurodivergence because you don’t hear them as much.
When did they say he was autistic? Lol he’s just a nerd. If that’s autistic then my whole family is autistic, which it isn’t.

Now, I cannot stop imagining gangsta Abed with a tattoo on his forehead!!!

I’m pretty sure from episode one they explicitly state he’s on the spectrum
