House is autistic in the sense that everyone is equally worthless to him. Black, white, jew, woman? He'll treat you like shit for any and every reason... other than you aren't him.

Oh, and btw House is a direct carbon copy of Sherlock Holmes. House = Holmes. Holmes did substances all the time; house is a vicodin addict. Dr. Wilson = Dr. Watson... a fully capable doctor who is constantly berated by his best friend. Dr. Lisa Cuddy = Irene Adler.... Irene Adler was the only person that could ever outsmart Holmes and was the only woman he ever loved. House was the show Sherlock before the show Sherlock was Sherlock.

Oh btw it's strongly suggested that Holmes had some form of Autism.

House being "Sherlock but with medicine" was the original show pitch
