It's difficult to imagine anyone with AS, no matter how oblivious they are to social rules, being so dense as to do that. (It was a neat reference to "The Adventure of Black Peter," though.)

I thought it was supposed to be a joke.

^This. I also amuse myself by making deadpan jokes that in some way highlight my social awkwardness. My close friends get it, others not so much.
Also, and maybe I missed someone else saying it, but John Watson even says "Aspergers" in S2E2. So, uh, yes, I certainly did get the feeling that the directors and actors were trying to portray Aspergers.
