408-496: A " psychopath ", and in " The Hounds of Baskerville " John Watson suggests to Lestrade that he believes Sherlock has Asperger syndrome . This manifests itself in very poor people skills and the extremely rude manners which Sherlock shows toward everyone he deals with.

Also
510-423: A "rude, ignorant, all-around obnoxious arsehole like [Sherlock]". John seems to behave as Sherlock's advocate, helping strangers to understand what they should expect from Sherlock as he helps Sherlock to behave in socially acceptable ways.

#17327648336271224-414: A case, John encourages him and tries to help him find something to do, although, after Sherlock's deduction of Mrs. Hudson proves extremely insulting, John tells him off and insists he apologize. One thing John will not do with Sherlock, however, is play the game Cluedo ; Sherlock's frustration that the inflexible rules of the game do not allow for scenarios that resemble realistic cases has apparently ruined
1326-416: A case. His brother Mycroft, in the first episode, says Sherlock has the mind of a scholar or philosopher . Furthermore, Sherlock does not seem to understand the deep emotional impact his actions have on those who care deeply about him. Though Sherlock's fake suicide at the end of " The Reichenbach Fall " was conducted in order to protect Sherlock's friends, including John; when, two years later, Sherlock
1428-540: A characteristic of autism, Sherlock can be shown to have a very literal understanding of what is said to him – once, when after Sherlock tells John that he wants to go out that evening, John tells him that he can't because he is going on a date, describing it as "two people who like each other [going] out and [having] fun", Sherlock replies that "That's what [he] was suggesting". Nonverbal communication also does not seem to come naturally to him, and he appears sometimes not to understand sarcasm , though he uses it often. During

He seems to admit that he does not understand sentiment and does not wish to, but he is shown throughout the series to care deeply about his closest friends.

1632-471: A classic deerstalker . This becomes his trademark—much to his annoyance as he greatly dislikes the hat, describing it in The Reichenbach Fall as a "death Frisbee " and expressing confusion about the advantage this hat, according to its name, would provide to a person hunting deer. He concludes that as this hat has ear flaps, it is an "ear hat". However, he seems to have accepted the fact that
1734-542: A corrupt and unethical newspaper owner who is threatening to release incriminating material he has on Mary Watson. Instead of going to prison, Sherlock is sent to do dangerous undercover work in Central Europe; this is interrupted by the shocking revelation at the end of Series Three of Moriarty 's survival.

1836-457: A couple. Despite his impatience at her concern for him, Sherlock has shown to have a great deal of affection for Mrs. Hudson; for example while he often tells her to shut up when he considers her input an annoyance, he is quick to reprimand his brother Mycroft for attempting to do the same. In " A Scandal in Belgravia ", Sherlock pushes a CIA agent out of a second-story window multiple times to punish him for torturing Mrs. Hudson; later in
1938-466: A couple. When waiting in a restaurant for the cabbie to arrive, the restaurant owner, Angelo, tells Sherlock that he and "his date" can have anything they want on the menu for free.

He
2040-552: A dragon-slayer; the villains Sherlock catches are the equivalent of dragons. In Mycroft's opinion, Sherlock has "the mind of philosopher or scientist, yet he elects to be a detective".

Charles Augustus Magnussen in His Last Vow reveals Mycroft to be in the Secret Intelligence Service and, effectively,

Detective Inspector Greg Lestrade ( Rupert Graves ) works for Scotland Yard. He has a reluctant respect for Sherlock and often defends him from

For the same reason, he plays the violin and even composes music from time to time. Sherlock also has
2550-434: A history of recreational drug use ; solving dangerous cases, as he puts it, "as an alternative to getting high". Seen in His Last Vow , Sherlock has a short fuse when high or recovering, shoving Mycroft against the wall of the flat and painfully twisting one arm behind him; John was concerned in this scene that Sherlock would seriously injure his brother. Despite the challenges Sherlock presents toward potential friends, John
2652-436: A man (also named "Hooper") who runs the morgue, and is extremely irritable towards Sherlock; John sees through her disguise, identifying her as a woman trying to get ahead in a "male world"; he remarks that the perception of such things is something that Sherlock is unusually bad at.

3876-770: Is at times hinted that his private life is rather lonely as well as nobody can keep up with his intellect. Mycroft declines his invitation to the Watsons' wedding, aware how his behaviour would rather drag the ceremony. He is further quite unaware that Lady Smallwood appears to be flirting with him. Despite not paying John like he originally suggested, Mycroft is kept informed of anything his brother does that may be illegal, as seen in " His Last Vow ", where John informs him Sherlock had seemingly relapsed back into his old drug habits . Though concerned, Mycroft jokes it would be safer for Sherlock to cross-dress like their uncle. Mycroft knows his brother well, saying Sherlock considers himself

As such, even Sherlock admits that Mycroft is smarter than he is; in reference to their childhood, Mycroft thought Sherlock was "an idiot", only changing his mind when they compared themselves with other children. While Mycroft's social skills are far superior to Sherlock's, it
