No. The Good Doctor is about an autistic doctor. He is incredibly knowledgeable, but has issues talking with patients and working with others.
TV autistic, where autism is a super power
Episode 1 has a scene similar to this.
Almost the same plot as Extraordinary attorney Woo.
Yes, it's based on another Korean show (called Good Doctor). It was actor Daniel Dae Kim who helped bring the show to America. He is also the actor Freddie Highmore played opposite in the now infamous "I am a surgeon" scene.
Isn't that just House?
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 malignant 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.
But one is for sure, he doesn't have lupus.
No but the patient did that one time
I don't remember the show ever officially ruling that out.
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.
Ah ok, must have confused it with another show I saw a trailer of, then 🤷🏻
In your defense, Freddie Highmore looked very young in the first season. Made especially egregious cause he played a young autistic man who didn't know how to mask. It made him read as much younger than he is.
You re thinking of Doogie Howser, M.D. perhaps?
Nah, that's from before my time but also stars NPH so I wouldn't confuse it with anything NOT starring Dr Horrible 😁
This appeared as a moral dilemma
Cause at first it was weird though I swore to eliminate
