Sherlock Holmes

About 10 minutes ago I started reading Sherlock Holmes for the first time. Based on what I'd previously heard about him, I was under the assumption he'd be quite a stoic, calm character, and yet here he is getting excited about his own blood test and rambling about how useful it will be and his eyes glittering and sparkling and eagerly holding out his discoloured hand with a bunch of plasters on it because of acids and blood samples aaaaaaaaaa

If the autistic community read about any of this they'd totally start parading the autism banner above his head I feel, from his interest in acids and poisons and chemicals, haha!
