Also yeah Holmes is 100% neurodivergent, that's not even a question. He is *bad* at expressing his kindness. He is, however, a very kind man.

Side note! The now-standard trope of Holmes spending the entire interview condescending to and sneering at his clients and associates? Not really a thing! Holmes is described as unfailingly polite to his clients, even when they're obviously kind of dim.

So his character here seems to be consistent with the early works but not with the presumably *licensed* adaptations that have come to represent him in the popular consciousness?

Heck, seems less a matter of the popular consciousness than a weird argument put forward by the estate.

Also he only ever explains things to Watson cause he hates himself and is super depressed, and LIVES for Watson to go "by jove, Holmes, I never would have puzzled that out" to the point he purposefully goads Watson into it

The fact that we just decided to associate intelligence with either anti-social tendencies or smug cynical detachment says so much about us, whether that be how certain "intellectuals" indulge in that view of themselves or people who have a deep suspicion of intelligence.

And yeah, being withdrawn in the manner BBC's Sherlock is may lead or emphasis certain types of intelligence, but all too often do people forget that emotional intelligence is a thing. Then again, too many people see no value in the humanities, as evident by tech bro culture.
