Is house M.D. an aspie????????

Post Reply New Topic

I see it as having a large vocabulary, but using the wrong meaning of words. Having a different sense of context. Ignoring the most commonly understood meaning of a word in favor of intending the word to mean its more obscure meaning. Also, we don't usually engage in back-and-forth conversation.

But the doctor said he didn't have it and he just wants to have it so he can use it as an excuse and he is just an a**hole. He even mentioned autistic people aren't aware of things they say are rude but House is aware.

Wilson suggests to Cuddy that House has Asperger Syndrome. Wilson then tells House that he doesn't. It's not clear who Wilson is being honest to in that episode. Either seems Wilsonesque. Everyone lies to Cuddy, and it is established that Wilson lets House believe what he thinks House should believe, not necessarily what's true. That's one of the great differences between Wilson and House.

I do personally think Wilson was misleading Cuddy to convince her to give House his bloodstained carpet back, especially because it never came up again, but I have it admit it's not clear what the writers intended there.

i'm proud to say i have never watched an ep of this show (in part or in total) and never will......

I agree that Wilson was misleading Cuddy but at the same time the writers were not clear on the intentions.


I personally think that House does not have Aspergers, or he does and has simply managed to overcome many of the obstacles typically noted as Aspie traits. That said, I love the show.

BTW Tritter was VERY angry and mean to house. I forget how, but he was. House gave him a rectal thermometer, and then basically just left. That was enough to make ANYONE embarassed and angry. From that moment on, tritter played EVERY stupid trick he could! He went from entrapment to create a traffic ticket, to purgury and illegal bank fraud. All that on the PRETENSE that perhaps house got his vicodin in a less than legal manner and was, perhaps, addicted. He ALSO tried to claim House was SELLING the drugs.

"knowing" a word does NOT count if you can't use it correctly.

I if chattered this in vogue, might it show concern? Now did THAT make sense? If you switched the words around, and used certain words with similar meanings, it would be VERY clear! If, however, you looked at that first sentence, you might doubt I could even create a simple halfway coherent sentence in English.

BTW The sentence that was stretched to make that giberish was "If I spoke in this fashion, would it matter?"

ANYONE can parrot text. There are probably a few preschoolers that can recite how to do some brain surgery, etc.. You can't claim they are brain surgeons though.

Actually, HOUSE NEVER mentioned it! The two discussing were BOTH doctors. The one that suggested it was the one WORKING as a doctor! I think MOST autistics ARE aware, but don't consider it at first. House didn't always show he was that aware anyway. I have, at times, spoken in the same insulting fashion as house. Cuddy mentioned one such type of phrasing. Yet it is pretty much HABIT with me. Some things I just don't want to change. Like Cuddy said about house, I generally hold back!

But that doctor is not qualified (in the internal reality of the show) to (un)diagnose autism disorders. And house didnt make any claims, wilson did. She is attributing an fallacious claim to House.

And we ARE aware that we say rude things. Its just they come out of our mouths and then we realize(at least once we are older). And frankly, I dont tend to backtrack when I do. It just makes me look like an ass AND weak.

If we do realize we are saying rude things, then it's not AS, we're just being a**holes.

I don't even know when I say rude things.

I am at times unaware of it either, but one does not preclude the other. Its entirely possibly to be an aspie a**hole. The a**hole label is externally applied, and innocent intentions unfortunately does not negate it. We are at all times judged by our actions but forgiven based on perceived intent.

Thus the hard life of an aspie.

I've learned not to say rude things, unless it is my intention to be rude. I'm proud to say I've risen above my less-forgivable Aspie quirks. But I'm still an Aspie and I still have typical Aspie moments.

For example, on Saturday I was supposed to take the GO train to attend my sister's birthday dinner in Oakville. But I couldn't do it because of mY sensory issues. I hate walking around in the cold. I hate taking the train. I hate being afraid of getting lost. I hate that I have no sense of direction and that the train platforms do not tell you which direction the trains are going. I hate the sound a train makes when it engages its brakes.

My hypersensitivies to sound, light, and temperature are a real pain in the ass.

Most people here say: "No he can read people".

I have been diagnosed, I can read people. It took time, but now I can read people better than most NTs. That does not rule out his diagnosis.

They also mention things like: eye contact, understands metaphors, no sensory issues, etc.

I can make eye contact if necessary and am the master of metaphors. I have learned to ignore my hypersensitivity to a good extent.

As far as antisocial being a counter diagnosis, I am the most antisocial and anarchistic person I know. Almost every move I make is to spite the illogical rules that some idiot came up with.

I don't clean my room or make my bed. My hair is often messy and people say I should shave more. I don't smile in pictures specifically because I hate how people smile in pictures "simply because it is accepted".

I completely understand society's rules, I just reject them for being illogical.

That is a really strange thing to be proud of. It's not a bad show.

I've never seen House as an Aspie, just as a bitter man who has had a difficult life. Underneath that bitterness he has a heart of gold.

He is more of a pr*ck than an Aspie.
