The similarities between Sherlock Holmes and Christopher are impeccable. They both have a very unique minds. Christopher and Sherlock Holmes both are very observant and that's how they figure stuff out. I'd use an example from the new A Game of Shadows but I don't want to ruin it.
When they were both looking for clues they looked around. Christopher went back to the original spot of the murder and looked for clues there. Sherlock instead went to another location that was related to the situation and looked there. The location he went to was first place the ginger midget worked at. Christopher found out that it had to be someone who had access to the shed when he realized that it was originally locked in the shed. Sherlock deduced that from all the equipment and experiments in the lab, that something was being made.
Well there are obviously some differences between the two also. Sherlock Holmes doesn't have Aspergers like Christopher does. This limits Christopher's abilities to do some of the stuff Holmes can. Although, I think that Christopher has better mathematical abilities. I'm pretty sure Sherlock didn't know how to do that prime number thing.
Now the fact that Holmes is different is that his mind is much more developed. The fact that everything he does includes logic, deduction and observation. This is the reason why he is so brilliant. Christopher is not capable of using logic due to his condition, but still has the observation part down. The point is that both of them have key characteristics that help solve problems. That's the thing that is connecting them together.
