Shaun Talks About How He's Changed - The Good Doctor

[@donaldkue2364]

"people tolerate me"... damn, probably the hardest hitting quote I've heard from a TV series that I could relate to.... Wow! That hurt!

[@dencadog5999]

It was so sweet that Shaun mentioned Melendez

[@Dudu_Madikizela]

Shaun has come a long way, he even knows how to relate with patients now

[@rebeccal7346]

Shaun talking about how he has changed as a doctor makes me want to cry in a good way

[@yuvrajrathee9116]

It's so true and I would love to see his decision with Lea's pregnancy ❤️

[@KittySoftpaws449]

People changed as they grew, Shaun is a man now, he’s all grown up 🥲

[@jessmirahlandingin9413]

The way that the patient's face softened when he saw the mug... ❤

[@ahmed82992]

Well observed

[@tanyaglover4129]

His ears. They went downward. Made me cry.

[@BloggerMusicMan]

I think I liked this episode of The Good Doctor more than any I've ever seen. This was the perfect patient to develop Shaun's character.

[@tyebrown2741]

Was probably the best of this season so far

[@roseystudio10]

This feels so real when you're an autistic, especially a masking autistic, and you feel as if your worth as a person is based on how you can benefit everyone else. I grew up homeschooled, and bullied severely by my own family, it had gotten to the point where I had to mask my undiagnosed autism. I was aware it was pretend, but no one understood what I was pretending with, and I would say "I am pretending to be normal", frustrated and angry that no one understood how much work I had to put into to try and be like everyone else. I never really had friends, I had odd interests a lot of kids weren't into, and I had habits that were off putting to others. For so long I hated myself for being as different as I was, and I never had the idea I had Autism until looking deeper into it after my dad died. And finally, after years of frustration, self-hate, feeling like a big fake, I unmasked and slowly, I am figuring out who I am, what I am, how I can go about my life. And I do see a common idea of 'autistics are so smart, they could save lives' 'they could add something', should be a nice thing to think, until you recognize a standard they begin to build for us, they have these high expectations of being useful, geniuses, and that we always have something good to offer. We're people, not trophies, not tools, people!

[@krystlejohnson9695]

He’s so sweet and understanding yet invasive but not intentional. I hope they keep this show going.

[@slowandsteady6320]

1:10 l love how his reaction to the mug.

[@MsTinkerbelle87]

That was uncomfortable for him to look the patient in the eye but he did it🥲👏 Where is his Emmy??

[@wordswrittenbyme2109]

So i was basically a puddle of tears after this scene. Shaun's grown and evolved so much.

[@rahaa.sh_307]

I needed this mention sm, I'm surprised, glad & heartbroken all at the same time. How Shaun came up with Melendez when Claire talked about the change was sth so personal to me & I don't think I will ever get over this line of Shaun's(especially when he said *I miss him*😭😭😭).

[@danielsac6316]

I broke up in tears as soon as he said “I tried to fit in”, and then it finished me when he said he had given up on relationships and friends. He (the patient) was obviously autistic. I'm a late-diagnosed, very high-masking autistic man. I don't like The good doctor TV show, but this specific story was gorgeous.

[@vikingmama93]

I have wondered if a late uncle of mine was the same. He was different from his brothers socially and we all just thought he was more intellectually oriented; but looking back, I see certain things that could possibly have indicated high-functioning autism. His grandson was recently officially diagnosed and their personalities/behaviors are very similar.

[@dhorn4005]

I don't like the Good Doctor. My cousin is autistic; and since I was a child I was his 'caretaker', his friend, his protector... It made me suffer hugelly. I felt like I could never fit in, and that I was giving up all relationships to protect him. I have felt alone all my life...then I was diagnosed with ADHD. No one ever realized. No one ever got me. I miself was too focused on helping everyone else ad wondering why the hell nobody ever tried to do the same with me that I never realized that I also needed help; and that I had never actually had asked for it. This scen trully broked me. The lonlines it can brings to be neurodivergent is terrifiying. Seen him in the operation holding the cup... I also hold to tokens. Proofs that someone ever has cared about me.

[@chrisfinch8637]

Chambers, we’re all meant to live with a difficult past and childhood, but as we grow, we may not like the direction we’re going, but it’s the way we’re all trying to be human.

[@mariahclark9926]

Is anyone else cutting any onions right now.... because....😭😭😭😭

[@mr.trouble827]

Oh, that warmed my heart.

[@missladyanonymity]

When I saw Jerry "Hands" Espenson, Esq. vs Dr. Shaun Murphy, I immediately clicked! 🥰 Someone was bound to show their Asp off!

[@a_noelle8595]

I was anticipating Aspergers to be mentioned. I loved him as Jerry. I crack up at the wooden cigarette scenes.

[@AndrewTmorningstar]

I always feel this way. I'm so different from everyone else.

[@mr.trouble827]

Same, but I'm still trying.

[@meggrotte4760]

I completely understand this poor man. The only thing I'm good at is completely useless in the world. It doesn't put food on the table and it doesn't pay bills

[@kevinmclaughlin225]

I kinda feel that Shaun was looking at himself in this scene. The consequences of shutting yourself off from everyone else.

[@Sarasdad91]

Christian Clemson is such an underrated actor. He was great in Boston Legal as Hands Espenson.

[@KevinMcLaughlin-r6o]

"People tolerate me." That's how I've felt my entire life even in my own family. I thought there was something wrong with me then I found out I had ADHD and was slightly autistic. My father always told me that there was nothing wrong with me and that always stuck with me when I ever felt down or insecure about my condition.

[@sandavijithminirathnayake7033]

Now Chambers might be wondering who tf is this Dr. Melendez Shaun was talking about since he met the whole staff earlier and there wasn't anyone with that name . He is extremely detail oriented , after all . 😁

[@anthonymendez1997]

Seeing the patient turn from an asshole to a more caring individual gives us some hope for humanity.

i cried when they had TN mentioned in that episode. i am a younger adult diagnosed with this. it is all due to a skull malformation

[@tiffanybarnes8286]

@@krystalharwood7842 My neurologist never suggested it, so I wrote on my phone to my mom(Since it hurt to speak myself) to tell him that I am over the meds and that I would want a surgical option. He reached out to an oncologist in another town, and they performed gamma knife on me October 19th. The pain was on my right lower jaw, now its on both sides. I felt disappointed that maybe it just didnt work for me, so now I do want to try another approach. Have been pain free for about 9 days now.
