Meinkrawft or Sherlock: who is more autistic?

I'm sure you'll make me regret replying to this, but neither are autistic. Sherlock's also not actually a sociopath, despite his numerous claims otherwise.

Meinkrawft? REALLY? 2 clicks would get you to the cast list to see the proper spelling of Mycroft. Not taking the 20 seconds to do so is pure laziness.

This has also been discussed at length in myriad articles and forums, which I doubt you'll read if you can't be bothered to confirm the spelling of Mycroft.

I should add that "sharing SOME traits with" and "having a disorder" are not the same thing. A person can have 1 or 2 traits of psychopathy without actually being a psychopath. You can even have 4 or 5 of the same traits as someone on the autism spectrum and not be autistic.



I'm a firm believer in the philosophy of a ruling class, especially since I rule.

There is no hint of any kind in the original Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle that he is autistic, sociopathic, or homosexual. If there is anything resembling that in this tv series, it is entirely a new invention.
