I think a lot of its groundbreaking stuff is actually kind of the more subtle stuff that we don't always see as groundbreaking because when you spell it out, it seems like it's stuff that really should be around more. Troy and Abed alone, I think, are something unique, not just for being a more accurate version of geeks, but because they're the best friend bromance (who, to be honest, are pretty close to center for an ensemble cast) and neither of them are white. And in a mainstream show, that's...kind of surprising? (Also, Abed isn't neurotypical, although they never give an exact diagnosis, but that's another thing that's interesting to see, especially in episodes where they--humorously but genuinely--explore the way he perceives the world, and his own awareness of his issues and his coping mechanisms. That may not be 100% groundbreaking, but it still feels like something I haven't seen much of).

I dunno, stuff like that. The meta humor is wonderfully done, for the most part, and usually fresh and joyful, but that isn't necessarily groundbreaking. Just nice.

They identify Abed as having Asperger's in the very first episode.

Not so much.

Jeff casually throws it out there as part of his "here's what's wrong with you" speech, as a sort of insult, in his frustration. It's not an actual diagnosis.
