Rin is autistic but not nihilistic. Her problems were too much passion for her art became self-destructive. What she lacked was a self-identity beyond creating art. Art is the integration of materials within reality to convey values; it is done with selective transformation according to the artist's soul in how they see reality. Each time you create art, you destroy a part of your soul that contains the subconscious integrated values as to selective transform it and convey it to others. Rin was on a pursuit of endless self-destruction through artistic expression. This creative process is different from nihilism, which is also self-destructive but comes from a hatred of reality and of the self. Rin did not hate herself; she hated that she could only express herself through her art.

Anyway, autistic people are incapable of nihilism. They tend to have a simplistic view of the world (depending on their level of autism, obviously) and are deeply attached to certain objects or subjects. This detachment is why a lot of autistic people are very focused on a minimal amount of subjects and ignore a lot of other things. Autism is generally a cognitive form of limitation. It isn't bad but it prevents autistic people from falling into philosophical trappings of nihilism that originates from a intrinsic view on value rather than an objective one or a self-loathing of the self; something most autistic people are incapable of doing unless they hate the limiting aspect of being autistic. The higher you are on the autistic spectrum, the less you are to be nihilistic.

Ryukishi also understands this and it's the reason Mariana doesn't seem to care for friends or others beyond playing a game and wanting to pet Gannet because she's cute.

>I can't think of (m?)any other instances of Miyao communicating with someone, where we don't get to see it in first-person. Don't we always see him announce the message he's about to send?
We don't. We also don't know whether anyone else actually got that message nor can we confirm that Stan actually got that message. Since it's VR, you can't check. It's also interesting because, when he fights with Lingji, he emphasizes that he wants her to stop fighting. Why would he tell others to forgot about the Order of the Public Bath if he wants others to maintain its spirit, even when he's putting his life on the line to make Lingji accept it?

>suffers from the symptoms of autism but isn't autistic
Alright? I guess that still makes her autistic until her brain is fixed up?

With the knowledge that she's autistic, it makes her lines funnier.
