[Honestly don't know if this thread is allowed, but here goes. Reply at risk of deletion.]

I was thinking about Sherlock Holmes. There was a thread about him. Conclusion or I don't know how I should call it without causing anxiety, majority view (maybe) was that he could have Asperger's disorder/syndrome (ASD) or a psychotic disorder.

Both is possible (fictional character). I personally don't think ASD can co-exist with psychotic disorders, but that they are diametrically opposed syndromes.

I was thinking about one important trait (is that word allowed?) of Sherlock Holmes: his eye for detail.

I am really bad at details: I am very good at seeing there is something off, not quite right, that something has changed, but I have no idea what.

Same with writing/spelling: I am dyslexic.

Can anyone relate? Take for example lipstick or maybe new glasses someone has on.
