So the doctor in the Good Doctor show is autistic?
Yes, he is a high functioning autistic person who started as a first year surgical resident. Now he's a third year since the show is in its fourth season now.
So, it was renewed for the fourth season then?
Yeah it's currently in the fourth season now but because of the problems with schedules last year, they never really finished the third season so the storylines kind of got melded into the start of the fourth season, which is itself truncated.
Do you think it's the last season, then?
It's hard to say. ABC hasn't made a final decision but on the other hand, season 4 is not yet over. So it all depends on ratings and the amount of fan involvement.
I'm sure the fans will still enjoy it!  I heard that the portrayal of autism was very well done...
Oh don't get me wrong. I love the show and thing that the actor that plays the lead is very good. I'm just wondering if there was every a situation in real life where that were to happen.
It's hard to say.  I don't think there has ever really been one.
Yeah I know that the premise is a little out there but I suppose it could happen if everything all aligns right. I know that this show was adapted from a South Korean show so it'll be interesting to see if that had happened there.
