Is Gavin Troy autistic? (show, characters, partner)

[Everett F. Pomare]

Do any of you Midsomer fans think that Det. Sgt. Troy (Barnaby's partner) is autistic? By this I mean that he's high-functioning (that is, he has Asperger's). It seems so to me.

In case, here is a link to his character profile:

Not familiar with the show but lets not forget they are fictional characters created by writers. So the question is are the writers trying to portray a character with un-diagnosed Asperger's?
Perhaps, but if so, to what end?

No. He's perfectly normal.

It's been a while since I've seen the Troy years of Midsomer Murders, but Troy always came across as a young, bumbling sidekick type, not a high-functioning autistic.
