I read a short Sherlock fic a couple of months ago, probably on AO3. It went more or less like this: After Sherlock & John leave a crime scene, Sherlock makes one of his characteristic nasty comments about the victim (or victim's family, or something). John is pissed off & lectures Sherlock about not being sensitive and not acting human, etc. John later finds him alone in his room upset and almost crying, and Sherlock tells John that he tries to feel/understand emotions but he can't, and asks John to extend to him the same compassion & understanding he does to others. I don't think the fic explicitly stated that Sherlock was autistic or had Asperger's, but that was kind of implied.
I hope someone recognizes this fic. It was sad and sweet and angsty, and I wish I'd remembered to bookmark it.
