I might be taking it a bit personally, though, as I actually really identify with the BBC interpretation of Sherlock Holmes.
See, there's the thing. It's all too rare to have protagonists who have Asperger's/whatever it is that Sherlock has in shows that don't turn it into the disability version of the "Magical Negro" who is so saintly and wonderful because of the hardship they have to go through because of their Asperger's/OCD/what have you. And I think that's an entry point for a lot of fans. (Not saying that's the reason why you identify with him, but it's a reason a lot of fans identify with him, and I think it's great.)
