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

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

Ah ok, must have confused it with another show I saw a trailer of, then 🤷🏻
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
