I can't really say what disorders your family may have, only a qualified psychiatrist or psychologist can do that. It is very common for ASD to run in families and often when a person is diagnosed, other family members realise that they have traits too. Learning and knowing about ASD traits makes it easier to pick up on them in others. Some of these traits do sound like ASD traits, but they could be personality traits too - it's difficult to draw the line between what is a personality trait which makes the person just seem a bit eccentric and what are enough symptoms of ASD to add up to a possible diagnosis. If you see that a family member is struggling to cope because of the traits, then it might be a good idea to mention the possibility to them.

Sister #1 sounds like a typical teen and Sister #2 sounds like a typical nerd to me.
