Sounds like the behaviour of an aspie to me.
To be fair to Guy Ritchie, what kind of person other than someone with Asperger's Syndrome has the kind of eye for small details that Holmes displays? No one I know.

Not so much
I actually thought the film did a rather nice job of getting some elements of the stories in there, though I was unconvinced by RDJ as Holmes. Not tall and thin enough.

On the Aspergers bit though, it's pretty clear in the stories/novel that Holmes is capable of deep emotion and also of expressing it in times of need (The Three Garridebs spring to mind) and that his way of thinking and logicalness have been imposed on himself and he has trained himself. It never sounded like Aspergers to me, more like a sort of mania, or alternatively some sort of trauma
