Lea is selfish.....

Seriously. She hasn't seemed to understand that Shaun IS different. Seriously she can't go to Jake's house and stay????? It's like she is rubbing it in Shaun's face..... She's evil

This is a...

How is it possible that none of Lana, Javier or Shaun spoke up when "This is a..." was on the screen next to the apple? "This is a apple" is wrong, one of them should have called that out. That could be the implied reason Lana froze up but it was never addressed.

I would have preferred if she had, after Javier calmed her down, said "fruit" and then come back around to the grammar issue when they were alarmed at her less-specific answer.

S2.E13 - Beautiful Episode [10/10]

[panagiotis1993 · 10/10 · 5 March 2024]

(S2. E13) My Live Reaction / Review for The Good Doctor Season 2 Episode 13 ''Xin''. The previous episode was good and I gave it a rating of 9/10. Let's see if this one is better or worse. This patient has a mechanical heart? How is that even possible? A patient with autism? That will be interesting. Shaun is trying to help Dr. Glassman but it seems like Dr. Glassman just wants to be alone, which is sad and also it hurts Shaun's feelings. Lea's advice is for Shaun to stop trying to help Dr. Glassman? That's awful advice. Its lovely how this mother was able to reconnect with her daughter. Overall this episode was good and I enjoyed it. My rating is 10/10.

Not sure about this episode

I like the good doctor. I am myself autistic. I am what people call high functioning, I appear though not to be autistic. Autism is a spectrum, I feel like Freddie highmore isn't the best representation of autism, particularly "high functioning" but nor is he the worst. He is likeable and plays the part as well as he knows how, for a neurotypical. We don't like the term high functioning, I would call it "passing as neurotypical" or the old school aspergers. Anyway, this episode compelled me to review, it has 2 autistic characters aside from shaun. They are what people assume is autistic typically. I found it slightly offensive. They are obviously meant to appear as "high functioning" however, they appear wooden, they appear as savants. Not all autistic people have savant syndrome, and if they do its not the only thing they talk about or like. Also, not all autistic people appear wooden, especially talking about something they do like, we do get enthusiastic! The male character extra in this episode is shown as having sensory issues which is true but at first he doesn't seem to know what to do about it, when I have a sensory overload I ask for light to be turned down or turn them down myself. Also he is very fastidious about his routine, we like routine usually but I doesn't mean we are unmovable as adults when there is something of importance happening. As adults we learn that some things are important and we have to set routine aside. 3 autistic characters in one episode and all are portrayed in a way that could be construed at offensive because they all play it the same way as if all autistics are the same. This is to educate people. We aren't stupid, we don't always appear autistic, and sometimes we know if we are weird, sometimes we will tell you if we are uncomfortable about lights and such.
