Asperger’s in the Holmes Family

Auteur: Eric L. Altschuler

Gepubliceerd in: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders | Uitgave 9/2013

Abstract

I show that Mycroft Holmes (Sherlock Holmes’ brother) is a formally described case of Asperger’s syndrome a half century before Asperger’s description of the syndrome. Further, given the genetic similarity and links between the brothers stated by Sherlock, this also cinches the same diagnosis for Sherlock.
