They're all "shy" from the perspective of people who like to talk a lot... They're also **mostly** considered smart by people who like to talk a lot when those people actually stop to listen.
Only a few. It depends on the person. Some autistics are completely non functional, not speaking and basically having the mental development of a 1 year old dog. Some autistics are functional and hide their autism very well. In the case of genius autistics like Shaun, that's because he has Savant Syndrome. Savant syndrome can appear in anyone, but it's more noticeable in autistic people because of how their brains are wired. Their brain is basically a living computer
We're not “shy geniuses”. We're just different. We listen, we ask, we talk, we try to learn and understand other things, we see connections between related stuff, we use our energy differently. I'd rather be reading about an interesting topic than talking to someone I don't know about topics like family, weather, or something that doesn't give me new knowledge. It's not that we're shy, we decide what we use our energy for. It's not that we're geniuses, it's that people usually expect us to be dumb. When we're not talking, we're observing and analyzing things. We just can't say out loud all the things we're thinking about because that's a lot. Usually we think with images instead of words, that makes our thoughts be faster. There's no way we could say with words everything we process, words aren't fast enough.
The English language is foreign to most people nowadays. As a Middle School/High School teacher, I am constantly correcting my students, my colleagues and sometimes utter strangers; it is not important enough to them to care.
I really enjoyed the first season. It was all about Murphy. Then, they seemed to take the spotlight off of him. Felt like I was watching a soap opera. That was a few years ago…think I’ll watch it again…at least the first season😜
Clearly you don't understand what it's truly like to be autistic. Everyone loves the quirky weird super smart things, there are so many bizarre & unpleasant things that seem nonsensical to people who don't experience life the same way they do. If sleeping next to someone is super uncomfortable, then it just is. It's tbe perfect line because he was being honest. Neither of them would have wanted it any other way. She might have asked that question because she thought it was what people are supposed to do & it's possible she wouldn't prefer he sleep there either. To lie is so weird & such a hurtful betrayal, honesty is always preferable. Even if it's not what most people would rather hear, they can handle it because lying to them is so much worst. Autistic "love stories" are nothing like what makes neurotypical people appreciate. That's why that line was so perfect. Anything else would have ruined it because it would have been inauthentic, less believable & illogical. I say this with respect, my only intention is to help you understand. You're free to disagree, but any other response would have been fake. Honesty is better.
@stormgirl09 That was sort of my point. Maybe I didn't articulate it very well. Regardless, I agree with you 100% Also, I'm not autistic, but I'm a 54 yr old woman with ADD & I used to wonder if I was high functioning autistic. But after a LOT of reading about both disorders, I'm not so sure. There's so many similarities = weird sensory issues (auditory & specific types of touch) stomach / digestive issues, odd emotional reactions to certain things (in both directions) Anyway, I'm also tired of media, in general, always sexualizing everything. It's creepy, especially when they do it with kids. But that's another kettle of fish I won't go into here. That said, I didn't want to offend you. Sorry if I came across as a smarty pants. Sometimes I feel compelled to say things that aren't always perceived the way I intended. I'm sorry if my comment wasn't received well. My only intention was to present a different perspective, definitely not to be condensending or disrespectful. My apologies if that's the case.
@@anitafarren4590 ah ok I understand. That's fine. And yes I hate when they do that to kids too. Also don't like what teachers are teaching little kids either. We live in a sick world sadly. Thank you for explaining.
@stormgirl09 I appreciate your response (both of them) And I'm glad there are no hard feelings. So nice to see 2 strangers in the comment section of a random video on the internet can have a conversation that contains a misunderstanding &/or disagreement and it DOESN'T turn into something ugly, dramatic & mean. Seriously. It's like people have forgotten how to agree to disagree & have absolutely zero skills in diplomacy these days. However, you seem like a pretty cool person with intelligence & empathy. It's funny that those awesome qualities can be a blessing & a curse equally (at least they are for me... lol) Hope that didn't sound arrogant of me. I'm not good at exchanging compliments with people I barely know. I hate it when people are phony & I'm a terrible liar (as my earlier comments may reveal) Anyway, maybe that's why I felt strongly about defending people with autism. I still wonder if I'm on the spectrum sometimes. I mean, I don't think so, but it's taken me FOREVER to figure out how to manage ADD & frankly, it's a 24/7 effort that's exhausting. Every time someone says "try to be on time, or maybe try to be early..." I wanna take a valium or break something. As if that obvious solution never occurred to me & bringing it to my attention only makes it harder to leave my house. On the bright side, though, I'm not as OCD (most days) not as depressed or as anxious as I used to be. Being loved by a really good guy helps. Plus, I finally decided I didn't have the energy to get worked up about what other people think of me because I'd learned how to accept myself as I am (as I'd always wanted other people to) My point for sharing all this is to say that you seem like a genuinely good person & I hope you have some people in your world to be happy with. The kind of people who love you unconditionally. People who don't just tolerate the weird qualities, but find them endearing = they're rare & precious. Be well, cool stranger 😎 👌 And thanks for reminding me that not everyone on the internet is a troll.😁
I do not like that female doctor… she interferes with and tries to tell Shaun what is best… even if the patient is autistic. Her character has no real purpose.
Dr Murphy nailed his role in this series!!!! Just Wow!
I love Shauns pure joy when he ate the Mallowmar
Too bad they taste awful in real life.
Good job Alex.
I love how people with Autism are really just shy geniuses...
Only some

I love this movie so much, it has inspire me medically a lot.
It's a series called THE GOOD DOCTOR....
It's not a movie...
I wouldn't have said anything either. Dr. Shaun said "This is a..." He should have "This is an..." It's an apple.
The English language is foreign to most people nowadays. As a Middle School/High School teacher, I am constantly correcting my students, my colleagues and sometimes utter strangers; it is not important enough to them to care.
Dr. Murphy was correct. “This is a….” As not to lead the patient.
I thought the same thing😅
😂😂😂😂
Yes, I wondered if that was the stopper for her.
This is a great show! when it doesn't try to get ideological and push agendas!
For real. The transgender episode was good at first but then Shaun started going along with the narrative 🤦♀️
lmaoooo lana said let’s get straight to da point .. pure
Great series

4:44 Why did they have ruin that heartfelt moment with that line? 🙄

@@anitafarren4590 I am autistic! I'm just sick of Hollyweird sexualizing autistic and special needs people! Not everything has to about sex!
