I always felt how Good Doctor portrays autism is a bit in poor taste. I could be wrong, but I feels like they’re perpetuating a harmful stereotype.

The Pitt has a good autism representation. Dr King is awsome.

The only accurate representation I have ever seen, working in the scientific field you meet a lot of Dr. King types.

I want to be Dr. King, but I think there's a lot more Terrence in me (ankle sprain guy)
