The Good Doctor is The Big Bang Theory meets House. Shaun is young, eerily intelligent, and autistic. This means that while he’s usually right about his patients and his heart is pure, he almost always says the wrong thing, much like House. Except House really did like riling people up, while Shaun cannot really help it, bringing elements of Sheldon’s (from The Big Bang Theory) naiveté into the picture.
