To answer the first question. I have read all 4 books and I can see on both sides of the line why people like it and why people hate it. Personally I like it, same as Harry Potter. It transports me into another world where I know about cool stuff and as I can't fit into this world gives me a place to be accepted, even if its only through the character in the book. The characters are well known and I can tell whether or not I'll like them. In twilight i Love Alice as she is the type of person I am. Enthusiatic about what can happen, love to organize and help people. As for the main characters, Edward and Bella I am actually jelous and that I want that relationship. Fortuanatly my girlfriend already knows this and subsequemtly I go to her. I have an opinion on the rest as wel but it will get a bit long.
As for does Bella having AS, no-idea. From seeing it from my eyes, yes and no. From what the author has written and the comments posted here I have to say its 70-30 in favour that she does have AS, simply because of her comitment and obsession to edward, her observation skills regarding other people, her for want of a better word passion. I can go on. If I have to put money on then yes.
Of all the negative comment I have read most say no beacause they dislike the novel and do not focus on the the character on which this thread is based. Sorry if my last comment seem harsh, just an observation.
Co-dependency =! Asperger's.
Also, Bella doesn't have a personality. She's essentially a blank slate for the reader to project herself onto.
