  No. The Good Doctor is about an autistic doctor. He is incredibly knowledgeable, but has issues talking with patients and working with others.

    Episode 1 has a scene similar to this.

    Also, isn’t he 14 years old or thereabouts?

      No, he’s an adult who went to medical school at the usual time.

      There are frequent flashbacks to his traumatic as fuck childhood, but he’s an adult doctor.

      House isn’t autistic. He’s brilliant, but in constant pain and taking it out on anyone and everyone around him.

        You mean to say that autism ISN’T the same thing as narcissism compounded by drug addiction and being brilliant enough to be surrounded by enablers?! 🤯

        People can have comorbidities. I think House has chronic pain, autism, and NPD.
