I think no actor can play someone who has autistic traits(not; Hoffman,Sofia Helin, Jim Parsons), and be totally convincing. But Jim is good at exploring OCD. Sheldon obviously has many obsessions, but it's his compulsive behaviour that I find fascinating. Compulsive rituals are usually carried out to ward of an event, that makes that particular person anxious. He washes his hands alot, he knocks repetitively, he organizies everything logically, and can't stand untidyness. He also tries to fit a memory rhyme, onto the number of stairs! No Idea what that's about!
