I also contend that Sherlock Holmes had Asperger’s Syndrome. One familiar with this genetic phenotype could quickly recognize his difficulty relating to people, his extreme, all-consuming passions and obsessive behavior and routines.
Holmes and Watson’s relationship was symbiotic, which is consequently the case with many with Asperger’s; despite their oft-great talents, they often rely on a loved one to assist them with deciphering societal cues and navigating the world of relationships.
Precisely like Watson and Holmes.
Case closed.
Firstly, to Victoria Lea of Aponte Literary. There could be no greater editorial partner, cheerleader, shrink and fellow lover of the written word. I am so very lucky to have you. To my fabulous writer friends, MV Freeman, Dan Krippene, Marlo Berliner, for reading, critiquing, and having my back. Love you guys.

Born and raised in western Pennsylvania, Brynn Chapman is the daughter of two teachers. Her writing reflects her passions: science, history and love—not necessarily in that order. In real life, the geek gene runs strong in her family, as does the Asperger’s syndrome. Her writing reflects her experience as a pediatric therapist and her interactions with society’s downtrodden. In fiction, she’s a strong believer in underdogs and happily-ever-afters. She also writes non-fiction and lectures on the subjects of autism and sensory integration and is a medical contributor to online journal The Age of Autism. You can find her on the web at
