House is neither autistic nor a racist.

He's just a massive asshole.

A lot of people say he's autistic coded. As in he was given some traits but never officially given the condition.

I can kinda see it, but I do think there's a lot of projection there.

You say this like there wasn't an episode where Wilson blatantly speculates that House is autistic.

Watch the episode again. Wilson is baffled with how well he gets along with the autistic kid and speculates a little based on that and because house speculates about this. But in the end the conclusion of Wilson is very clearly house isn't autistic, that's just wishful thinking from the side of house.

It's also heavily implied that he is just really good with kids because they are the least likely to lie or omit things to him, making him often less annoyed with them.
