Had a bit of a difficulty answering this. I'm not sure about my gender but I was born with XX chromosomes and their corresponding parts, so I voted female. Just sayin'.

I have Asperger's myself, and I do think Sherlock has it. Maybe that's why I like the show so much. Sherlock's also obviously gifted in terms of IQ, and these combine to make him twice exceptional. Aside from his obvious lack of social skills and empathy, Sherlock also displays special interests, focus-wise or intensity-wise. He may be able to "fake" neurotypical behavior fairly well, but I would say he didn't have that in him as an innate skill. It's a learned behavior. Some Aspies do it well enough to the point that they become professional actors. However, I'd like to stress that faking NT behavior without a script is extremely energy-depleting for people with autism spectrum disorders, which might be why Sherlock chooses not to do so in his daily life.

Hello. My name is Jamie and I'm from Taipei, Taiwan.
I first became interested in Sherlock Holmes in 2011 when SH:AGoS came out. Then I read the Canon, watched BBC Sherlock and became obsessed. Obsessions are my division: I have Asperger's Syndrome and relate quite strongly to Sherlock.
Currently I am preparing myself for the role of Sherlock in my school play. I wrote the script myself and it's an adaptation of ACD's A Scandal in Bohemia.
When I first became aware of BBC Sherlock, I was admittedly quite skeptical. Benedict's face wasn't what I expected and the entire series just seemed too modern for my liking. I watched the first series and thought it was quite good. Then I started the second series and fell for the plot, the intelligence (rarely seen in TV series nowadays) and the character portrayals. A Scandal in Belgravia is currently my favorite episode.
A little more about myself: I'm 17 years old and in high school. I'm female but I don't necessarily identify as a girl/woman. I am largely asexual. I am obsessed with Sherlock Holmes, acting, music, biology, neuroscience, and medicine. I play the violin, piano, and the guitar. I am a scout. I ship Johnlock. If there are any WrongPlanet people around you might recognize me (wink, wink).
Cheers
Jamie
