There is one bit character who is on the spectrum at a higher support level, and while they don't state outright that he is autistic, they are exceedingly respectful in how they treat him. This is likely because William Christopher (Father Mulcahy) was an advocate for autism research, awareness and rights, due to his son being autistic.

It's implied that Frank is at least emotionally abusive toward his wife and children, and he states that he was physically abused himself as a child. He also frequently abuses his rank and uses it to bully lower ranking officers. By the time he leaves, his entire character has become an example of the cycle of abuse and mental illness.

A visiting female officer harasses a doctor, then accuses him of attempted rape when he doesn't reciprocate. Characters joke about him deserving this because of how disproportionate his own retributions toward his bunkmates are. Hawkeye complains at one point that he's never been violated at the local watering hole and says, "I don't know why I keep coming back."

Yes, but only kinda. A character threatens to by pouring "petrol" over himself and threatening to light himself on fire. Its a ploy to get discharged from the army. We find out that the "petrol" is actually water. This plan is foiled when they put real petrol in the canister. No one is actually hurt.

Kinda. A character who dresses in women’s clothes in an attempt to get a section 8 discharge is often called a transvestite, but the character is not transgender.
Perhaps the most overt instance is in season 7. A Swedish doctor mentions gender affirming surgery to Klinger, and he responds that you’d have to be crazy to do that.

Frank is mentally ill and can be violent at times, though usually in a relatively harmless slapstick manner. But he gets dangerously violent off screen in the opener for season 6 and is granted a section 8 discharge. In another episode, Klinger has to deal with a bunkmate who seems to experience hallucinations. The guy even starts shooting at them.

A running gag involves one male character wearing dresses around the base in an attempt to get discharged and sent home. However this never works, and in one instance he was saluted by a general he intended to offend by dressing up as Lady Liberty.
Worth noting that appearances of this character is accompanied by a laugh track but the in-show characters don't get offended or laugh at his appearance (except for one who is portrayed as an unlikable bigot). The laugh track can be turned off in the DVD version of the show.
