Like I said, earlier, I was tossing some ideas around and this was about all I could come up with. You don't need to tell me it is stupid, I already know. But you can if you want.
So my idea was that there would be some wannabe Aspie detective or PI. Maybe he gets called in by the "real" police to help them solve difficult cases. Or maybe he invites himself to get involved. A bit like the guy in "Psych".
The lead character would be obsessed with solving crimes, like it was his obsession or special interest.
The lead character would be portrayed by a particularly handsome actor, and women would constantly be falling for him, but he would be completely clueless about it and unwittingly undermine every potential relationship he may get into by saying or doing something inappropriate, or by completely misreading any come-ons. And he would go around with the often-stated belief that women simply don't find guys like him attractive.
So this guy spends a lot of time on the internet and knows a lot of unusual and reclusive people with various neurological disorders. Mostly Aspies, but occasionally people with bipolar disorder or autism or something like that. He calls these people in to help him with cases where their special interests or talents can help him. A bit like how Fox Mulder used to call in his favourite conspiracy theorists, The Lone Gunmen ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lone_Gunmen_(TV_series) ). Part of the story would be how the lead character often needs to cajole these characters, or virtually drag them from their houses/apartments, in order to get them involved.
He would have to have an assistant or a sidekick or two. Unsure if these should be Aspies or NTs. Perhaps one of each.
I don't think I came up with a single original ingredient for the show.
Really not a lot different to other shows that are out there.
