Regular doctors have lots of social contact. Surgeons tend to be anti-social dicks who only deal with unconscious patients for a reason.

In real life this tends to be true of certain specialities, but Dr. Autism has lots of interaction with patients because it's TV drama BS. Also, a lot depends on the surgeon and speciality, but as a rule they aren't nearly as sociable as GPs.
If this show follows it's Korean roots he's a pediatric surgeon so expect lots of heartwarming child interactions where children truly understand this misunderstood genius autist. Of course there will be an attractive love interest too.
Christ, the could at least steal decent ideas for TV shows from other countries rather than shit like this. Are they going to mine Mexican soap opera plot lines next?

They already have. It was called Ugly Betty.
Anyway I just finished watching it. Doctor Autism is hyper competent and everyone else around him may as well be a retard for all the potential medical malpractice that could've happen if the guy didn't step in.
Edit: Reviews of the show are already complaining about how the actor isn't actually autistic and how it's taking away from real autistic people.
Related power level here. I'm a theatre tech student and I see a fair few autists practicing lines and stuff for class while setting shit up. Here's the thing: autistic people cannot act. Acting requires vocal inflection, body movement, and interacting and being around people. All of these kids are just reciting from a paper standing stock still on stage. Having an autist be an autist in front a camera/audience is not acting. It's far from acting. And it's not exactly fair if you pigeonhole a person with a disorder to just be that every time.

Sounds like one of those shows where you get Super Autism Powers, instead of reality, where it's a huge burden to overcome even if you're lucky and work hard enough to be able to, and you're a Chris-Chan or a headbanging vegetable at worst. Most people who have serious autism and succeeded anyway did so in spite of and not because of the disorder. And even people like Temple Grandin come across as pretty weird, although likable.

When I saw advertisements for this show, it made me think of Kiwi Farms.
I don't think that's what they were going for.

I want a subplot about his webcomic becoming a way for him to get revenge against trolls.

I saw the trailer and it was so cringe worthy and bad.
"Yes he has autism". "He can perceive things on a level no one else can". It was like a parody or something.
I did see a few minutes of it. It was boring. I hate medical dramas in general. In fact, I kinda don't like dramas at all. There's a part where Dr. Autism is talking to a girl he met previously. And she asks if he has any questions. So he autistically asks her why she was rude to him twice but now she's being nice. I guess it's the autism making it hard to perceive that people aren't uniform in mannerisms 24/7. Is she going to be a love interest? Is Dr. Autism's love quest already beginning?
I would never let a teen operate on me. Even Doogie Howser. I'm not even sure if it's legal. Would Doogie be allowed to see patients or do any sort of procedure at 16? I'd think there would be an issue of liability letting a minor practice medicine. Not just the patient's safety but their own as well. Not to mention the general discomfort of letting a kid operate on grandma or your baby.
I was surprised how little salt I saw on Tumblr. Although I only checked before the premiere. I think that because it's based on a Korean Drama and Tumblr is full of Koreaboos that might have added some padding to the impact. But they are generally against autists being seen as savants because it's stereotypical. Now we know a good portion of Tumblr is really just #actuallyautistic. But the self diagnosers tend to screech the loudest and I'm curious to how this show is going to sit with them as it goes on.
Well why don't they list a bunch of autistic actors who could do the job? They always screech but they seldom offer up any names.
I'm sure the studio doesn't want to deal with the possibility that their star may have a meltdown and bolt into the parking lot. The kind of autistic they'd need would have to be very mildly affected in order for him to be workable. This narrows down the available actors they could use. It's not the same as finding a black actor for a racially non-descript part.
They might end up with an actor that is so wooden that people complain that the show is bad even if it's a realistic portrayal of an autist. Then the show gets cancelled and people complain that it's not fair and it was solely cancelled because it was about a person with autism succeeding at something instead of being put into a group home.

Now that I would watch.
About the teen doctor thing, Highmore is actually older than I am. Wow.

Shit, that's Freddie Highmore? I had no clue. Haven't seen him in anything since he was a kid and figured he was one of those eternal babyfaces like Elijah Wood.

I would imagine no malpractice insurance carrier would touch him with a 10-foot pole which would render other considerations moot. Not to mention the complications of risking a minor violate HIPPA or narcotics rules and having their record sealed a few years later.

The pilot episode had good intentions but was far too didactic like just that 2009 autism movie Adam and the flashback scenes laid the tragic backstory on way too thick.
The second episode is an improvement but is Dr. Shaun Murphy going to make a casual diagnosis of some potentially deadly malady based on innocuous aliments at the beginning of the episode that nobody takes seriously even if he is proven right, culminating in a dramatic emergency room surgery scene, every single episode here on in?

The autismu is enough of a gimmick to keep me watching for a little while but if it turns into a bog standard medical drama with a twist that becomes less relevant with each episode, I dunno if I'll stick with it.
I didn't actually intend on watching the first episode last week, it was more of a "too lazy to change the channel and it's passable as background noise while I'm on the computer" kind of deal.

Has there actually been a connection between the atsimu and his skill?
At least with Monk, another sort of gimmicky mental illness related show, the protagonist's obsessive-compulsive disorder was actually directly connected to his skill as an investigator. (Or early Dexter for a more edgy example. But that show lasted long enough it absolutely blew chunks by the time it finally, mercifully ended.)
