      Yes, I’ve watched all of the Sherlock series. He’s a rare example of the male ‘superhero’ who power is not based on physical might.

      Both of those terms are just different cultural labels for ‘antisocial personality disorder.’ There isn’t actually a clear difference clinically between the two conditions.
