Thoughts from an actually autistic person about the accuracy of autism in this show: It's great. Honestly. Very realistic, very relatable. But please do remember autism is a spectrum and we don't all also have Savant Syndrome.

They did, at least, call the two out separately in the episode: "Yes, he has autism, but he also has savant syndrome..." Hopefully, viewers'll take that hint. :)

Pretty good discussion of that at https://www.bustle.com/p/whats-real-about-savant-syndrome-is-something-the-good-doctor-should-explore-2439405, if anyone's interested.
