Huh.

Is it just my auditory processing being wonky again, or did John really suggest that Sherlock's got Asperger's? I've been thinking for awhile that his style of taking in all the details at once instead of 'zooming out' to see the big picture is very similar to the way autistics handle sensory input. The difference is that he's actually got the brainpower/speed to handle it, with room to spare for deductive reasoning in realtime, instead of getting overloaded. His method of recalling information, complete with images and sound clips as shown in tonight's episode likewise seemed quite familiar, though of course I've never had quite that much control over it.

I managed to go and get myself a salmonella infection from a Chic-Fi-la sandwich (fast food really will kill you, I swear...) and I felt all together too rotten to watch the new episode tonight. Tomorrow will be Day 3, so hopefully by tomorrow night I'll be feeling well enough to watch. I've waited too long for new episodes to barely be able to focus on them due to blinding pain.

Anyways... The very idea you're floating and it sounds like the show suggested as well, has crossed my mind a number of times with this character!

Oh no! I'm very sorry to hear that you've been ill. I'll postpone any more detailed comment to avoid spoilers, but I will say that I continue to love the relationship between Sherlock and John.
