I love how he instantly dims the light when the room mate enters.

[Hellqueen]

Love Shaun, he is SOOO ADORABLE. His like a golden retriever, always wants to help, but quite often very confused. I just love him

[jeffnaslund]

It’s not that he’s autistic, but he’s also a medical savant. He remembers everything he learned. Now he’s adding experience to that knowledge.

My niece is autistic and she has typical speech. In fact because she had speech when she was young she is very well spoken and articulate

[PKAC]

I think they mean that this is his first autistic patient as a resident. He already had an autistic patient, a boy, in the first season.

My mom realized I was autistic the one time I was a child about six or seven and I was freaking out about remember what I said. I needed a deep compression around my body and she went. Do you mean a hug? Haha I love how accurate this is. I still have some trouble, but I had to learn facial expressions and all that stuff. I can relate to him a lot

[jiingflower]

My biggest step into improving my life with autism was not getting over the things that can be complicated for me, because I can't do that, but learning ways to cope and be the closest I can to do it when it is necessary.
Like driving. I don't like to drive, and I do not drive in my day-to-day life, because it makes me feel bad. But I can drive in an emergency, like if my mum gets sick because I need to know to do it when it is important I do. After all, if not I or the people I appreciate could be at risk.

Her insistence that he loved her and her concept of love was the right one is completely inappropriate.

I was 40 years old (now 44 years old) when my mom and I figured out I was autistic. I displayed ALOT of symptoms, but everyone just figured I was a little quirky. Talking with me, you wouldn't know I even had it. You'd have to be a medical specialist in the autism community, and have some extensive conversations about my life and history before realizing that I am. My ex's baby brother has autism and his speech pattern is similar to what I am hearing in the autistic doctor here, but my ex's baby brother's speech patterns are a bit more pronounced. Total sweetheart of a kid, respectful, nice as can be, and to this day I am close with both my ex, his baby bro, and his mom. I was also close to my ex's dad before he passed. Even went to the funeral and spoke, and that was ALMOST 6 years after the breakup. They saw me as the closest thing to a daughter they would ever have. I miss all of them. I moved most of thr country away 6 years ago.

They really have a weird view of autism especially high functioning autism. You can't tell everyone who has autism is autistic. There are thousands if not millions of autistic doctors operating everyday and nobody knows it.

[Whoami]

how the hell does she not understand that 'trivia night' is not just some dumb gamer they play! it is how they connect!

[seabluemars]

Shaun is outwardly different from his peers and this show is about how comfortable we would be trusting someone doctoring us who is conspicuously neurologically atypical

[victoriasp]

I do wish they would stop making every person with aurism have the same why of talking. Both my boys have autism and have a 'normal' speak pattern. I have other family members on the spectrum and they also do not have this speak pattern.

[GamersAtDeath]

Am I the only one that loved the scene of Shaun getting high with Glassman? Like I was laughing hard when they showed that.

[mickeymouse]

Bright likes are like “needles in my eyes” that sounds like hell on earth

[seanbraley]

This is not his first patient on spectrum there was a boy with full-blown autism in season one

[clarejennings]

Shaun wanting to do weed for science is somehow so funny to me

[ttrev]

if feel for the guy, i have fluorescent light sensitivity, but really you can put up with it for special occasions and then deal with the light torture and later the migraines for a good reason.

[lizz]

I heard they are stopping this series??? What on earth are they doing. This series is so useful, funny, explained, and generally wonderful. Bring it back please.

[firepoet]

I personally felt there was a significant difference in their patterns, her voice carried her weight whereas the good doctors is much more flat. He spoke of facts with a tangent connection whereas the patient has a personal outreach. This is my opinion of course but I feel like there is a significant difference between the two.
