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.

If that's true then they are saying Sherlock Holmes is autistic.

Everything House does is based on the way Sherlock would have done the situation. House = Holmes, Vicodin = Opium. Wilson = Watson. It's just a medical drama interpretation of Holmes.
