street-howitzer:

So back in September of ‘10 ’11, I began this series of essays on BBC’s “Sherlock”. The original intent, as stated in the prologue and repeated many times since, was to explain autism to allistics, using “Sherlock” as an extended metaphor. I wasn’t aiming to convince anybody that Sherlock was Canonically intended to be autistic.

After “The Hounds of Baskerville”, I’m gonna need to re-situate my thoughts on where I want “Slumber” to go. Until then, here is the series as it stands.

• Prologue [link]
• Part 1: Stereotypy [link]
• Part 2: Sensory Impairment [link]
• Part 3a: Social Impairment (Sherlock’s errors) [link]
• Part 3b: Social Impairment (Allistic errors) [link] (Posted 2/22/12)

Feedback is, as ever, welcome.

(Of course I corrected the year after the post got over 250 reblogs, like a boss.)
