The way he said “He’s not psychotic” the first time was definitely filled with rage.

[katelynnhueston]

The fact that Shaun was stressing himself out through giving incorrect counts to help this patient is very kind of him.

"Its amazing how accomplished you are for someone with autism" Is the most back handed compliment ive heard

[greap]

As an autistic person the way he was talking (murphy) was what was needed. It may be an extreme case if asd but still works

[acezephyr]

"For someone with ASD" He is accomplished period.

Everyone, no matter what we are told or believe, has something very important to offer to others. It is amazing this show is teaching all of us to consider any and all options.

[TheBusinessDeck]

They should bring a series with him and Dr. House

"How accomplished you are for someone with ASD"
WTH, am i the only one who felt sheer disrespect radiating from this guy?

[ladyk]

Being mild autistic myself I can relate how other people who have severe or in the spectrum can have hard time I’m glad they showed this episode sometimes it takes someone unique who also has autism to know a way to help the patient

One of my brothers is autistic.
He is highly fact focused.
He works in IT and is the leader of the IT apartment by now.
He never was in a relationship but has quite a few friends.
And I have psychological problems. Somehow funnily my non normally functioning brain and his non normal functioning brain are wired in a way that we have like a build in 'translation' for each other.
We both need to rant sometimes and other people have problems following then. But it just works perfectly with each other.

I love how different limits of several people all in one team so often shows solutions one person alone could never think of.

[BeetoBeeto]

No way that last guy said "you're pretty smart for an autistic person" 💀💀💀
That's so disrespectful 😭

[skillbeastgaming]

For anyone wandering this is called "The good doctor"

[thatoneramdomautistic]

That last line was kinda stupid. (I'm autistic)

[Vanist_Meira]

As someone born high functioning I can relate so much to this, I've seen autistic kids over stimulated and their parents had no clue what to do. The few that listened to me said advice helped and they often calmed down.

Sometimes we just need a way to direct our mind towards a calmer place, our thoughts are like a train. Trying to change course last minute derails us and stresses us out.

Dude is a way above board actor....
Spot on!
If they could be as present, and

I have mild tics too when I get anxious or deeply distressed and uncomfortable around people or situations.
Its like you are being bombarded with way too much information and stimuli on your neuro freeway and there's no outlet, everything gets jammed up and bustling for space to advance further and make better meaning and for me, I sometimes see light flashes in front of me, either right in front of me or at a distance, and I used to mistake these for lightening sparks and then if I can talk I'd hear myself repeatedly saying "see the lightenings!" and pointing to things that only I can see!

It was when I became an adult and ended up in the nightmare of an abusive enslavement they call "marriage" and he and his equally Monstrous family and enabling friends branded me "mad" just to cover up what they were doing to my Kids and I; that was when it degenerated to me having seizures, and that was when I was diagnosed.

Imagining an actual mentally challenged doctor being able to help normal doctors better understand mentally challenged patients is so amazing

[Zgenn]

“He’s not psychotic he’s autistic” got me 😂

[taylorbechstein]

"Its amazing how accomplished you are with asd"
Many people have lived their lives not knowing theyre autistic and have done great things- anthony hopkins is my favorite example. A well accomplished actor, musician, and overall good human

I say this as someone who has an autistic brother who I love more then anything, and quite possibly could be mildly autistic myself. This show does an amazing job of showing how autistic are not normal. They have certain traits and behaviors that frankly make them worse then “normal” people and we have to accept that. To put it bluntly if this guy was “normal” this would’ve been an easy test, with an easy fix. This show also shows us how this autistic doctor fails many times for not picking up on certain behaviors.

Now here’s where people give me hate comments without reading the rest.

Buuuut, they are also great at certain things much better then “normal” people. They’re obsessions frankly lead them to being smarter in those categories. For behaviors that they have learned to recognize they realize more things that “normal” people don’t.

To everyone in the comments saying “man this is why being autistic is awesome I’m so glad he understood what others didn’t” NO! Autism sucks, it’s awful at times and frankly feels like suffering and is incredibly isolating. This is not something that should be blindly praised. Absolutely not hated but not praised either.

They have incredible insights and can see amazing things that many normal people can’t, and on average I find that higher functioning autistic people are just incredibly smart, much smarter then your average joe. They’re geniuses that realize things others don’t.

Being autistic isn’t a good thing. Nor is it bad. Being autistic is a unique thing with its own pros and cons. And I want people to look at it as such. Often people look at those seen as disadvantaged and blindly praise them to make up for it. Stop it, that’s not ok. Autistic people are amazing for what makes them, them. Their analyses are genius. But they also have many shortcomings behaviorally. And we need to acknowledge both.
