Is house M.D. an aspie????????
wow, thats a tight poll!
it funny you should bring such a question up. i remember one episode where House is treating an autistic patient. Wilson goes and looks up the symtoms of autism and begins identifying them with Houses traits. He ''comicly'' comes to the conclusion that House has autism, a theory he then presents to Cuddy who tells him he's being ridiculous. I figured, he might be like me, mildly autistic.
Then about 8 months ago when i found out about Aspergers. I remembered this episode and figured that, no, he's not autistic, he's an Aspie. Also, based on the behaviour displayed by House in each episode, it seems abundantly clear that House is indeed an Aspie.
Yes, and he was quite nice to the old lady with syphilis.
The trouble he took the blame for was calling child services. It was really the mom that did it, but House made it look like he did.
And when he got back together with his Ex, he broke up with her, saying he would never be able to give her the emotional support she deserved.

In that episode, they actually say he may have AS. The kid, at the end, gives away his PRIZED possession, a game, to House! In the beginning, even trying to disturb him while he was playing was met with a LOT of hostility. I think the writers definitely tried to show a side of House they don't often show, and tried to show a kind of alternate communication with the child.
The thing I hate about the show is that he lacks ethics. Like he thinks its a germ that causes this, so he has people break into the patient's house to look for that germ. They don't find it, so he moves on to the next theory. I promise you most of those fans of that show would hate having a guy like that for real as their doctor. I know every eposide I've seen has a happy ending because of his lack of ethics somehow, but that doesn't matter in the real world. He'd been fired eventually from all the law suits in the real world.
He a least so antisocial he said he envyed the autistic kid. He was able to figure out the kid and that was cool.

FINALLY diagnosed with ASD 2/6/2020
You ARE right about that. I guess that, since it often IS worthwhile and entertaining, people excuse that. YEAH, when I was robbed, I talked to the police ELSEWHERE! WHY? Because my room was a MESS! If I were a robber, and went into my apartment, I wouldn't have bothered looking farther. And I have a LOT of things that could have caused house to chase wild geese. For example, I have a HUGE store of warfarin(enough to last me perhaps a year). I ALSO have a LOT of vitamin K. SO, if I had a stroke or a bleeding problem, he might suspect those. I check my blood sugar, so he might believe I am diabetic.
Still, it isn't like he was stealing, or trying to extort.
How the hell did this guy get through medical school?
The whole thing is such an insult to the intelligence.
WHY, why wouldn't he make it through medical school? He clearly didn't START that way! He even spoke of how he got interested in medicine. He saw a janitor that was mistreated, etc..., because he was considered UNTOUCHABLE! But when the doctors were stumped, they called the JANITOR! It turned out that he knew what he was doing, and they had to cast fear and rules aside, and ask HIM for help. He saved the day.
House explained that that showed that they HAD to respect him to some degree, because HE knew what had to be done, etc...
So that not only explains how he got to where he is, but ALSO shows aspie reasoning.

Think of all the assumptions he makes about you that are wrong, and because you have no idea he's there or you are unconscious as a patient, you have no way to defend yourself on those assumptions. It's great he wasn't stealing or extorting etc. But do you really want a doctor to know that much about you? Yeah, House might be nice about your messy house. But, think about all the doctors you do see. What's okay for one guy has to be okay for everyone else. And if you got kids? Oh, he'd be required by law to call Child Protection Services over a messy house. It's not like you could clean it if you are dying on a hospital bed, and then if you do die, that would just mudden the waters for the family you want to have custody over your children in your death, all because a doctor got nosey.
I can't dirty myself that way ...
I could dirty myself that way, and unlike Tony Soprano, I could institute a mixed mafia style beating (Italian Mob and Puerto Rican Mob style mixed with a little gang banger, military style, and my man ain't your baby's daddy into it as well). When I'm done with House, I think I'll hit up Tony next actually. I don't agree with a lot of things he did in his show either.
But in real life, I'd slap House with a couple of lawsuits and many letters to the Medical Review Board.
