No one can predict autism it is still an uncertain process for a diagnosis. I went misdiagnosed for 12 years and wasn't given my place on the spectrum until I was 17 years old. But Shaun has reason to be observant and concerned as an adult with autism.

I have my twin boys who are both autism. When they were baby one was cried a lot and one was quiet, but both have diagnosed as autism ten years later. We can't tell it when they are still so young. And each person is so unique.

I wasnt diagnosed until I was over 40. Most of my children, however were diagnosed faily early on. My youngest daughter was nothing like the rest and was struggling so much. So i started researching a little more throughly with focus on girls. 5 minutes into my research i realized that not only her but i was also likely on the spectrum. Took an online test which also suggested we were on the pectrum so i started the overly complicated and excessively difficult process of getting professional diagnoses to find out for sure if we were actually autistic. Finally got to see the specialists and we absolutely were. One of my boys was like the baby here. Quiet, hardly cried or made a fuss. He was a "good" baby but as soon as he started lining up toys and not playing the way THEY thought he should, suddenly there was something " wrong" with him. The doctor's concern for his child being on the spectrum would be totally expected as he know exactly how hard and cruel the world is to people like us. No one wants their children to suffer in the same ways we did and do.

I get Sean's concern my brother is on the spectrum and we though he was just a quiet baby. Nothing to panic about just observe

If it was only that easy to feel heard, seen or diagnosed… How I wish someone would’ve seen it earlier. That’s why I’m now trying to spread awareness so others can get their diagnosis earlier so they don’t have to go through what I and many others went through

I don’t have autism, but my mom said I never reacted when she left me somewhere. I acknowledged that she was leaving, but felt comfortable usually with the environment she left me in so I didn’t mind and also knew she would come back at some point I guess lol. I also never cried, which some of my relatives found unusual. Sometimes babies just don’t cry. Some are more emotional than others.

My son has autism and cried more as a baby. Especially at daycare. Even as a newborn he hated the car, baths and his cot. I had to ride in the back with him, have a shower with him as the shower soothed him and put a mini sleeping foldout crib that goes in the bed. So it can go both ways. Sometimes I feel there are some things that aren’t necessarily something all ASD children have when they are babies or young to diagnose them as autistic. That’s why Doctors are reluctant to diagnose at such a young age now. At least where I live. But overall I have loved how this show has handled Autism. I had my reservations but they definitely proved me wrong 😊🩵

If it's autism, so what? He has a great father raising him👍

Their baby Steve might have an early sign of ASD. It’s because of the reaction when they left the room at daycare. Most babies react to separation anxiety. Steve have no reaction when they left

Notaram a forma como Steve observa Shaun, ele realmente admira seu pai, que fofo❤.

My sister in laws sons are both autistic and she said they were both terrible babies screaming and crying non stop. She had to have my mother in law move in to help care for them so her and her husband could function. I also work in a daycare I have seen both quiet and and loud babies grow with no noticable signs of autism. Depends on the baby. Sure could be a sign but all you can do is observe.

I have a friend at work who has Asperger's Syndrome. He's special needs too, but he has a lot of common sense as well about many different things. After a while you know what to listen for, and we have some good conversations about activities he is involved in. High functioning autism is just that, high functioning. But there are differences. Eventually you know how to react with each different individual who has it.

Watching this gives me enormous anxiety because I have autism. But it's good to go through my emotions on this.

Shaun murphy y su esposa son buenos comos padres❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Autism or not Steve is perfect just like his dad and mom🦋

My grandson was a very good baby hardly cried. So easy to put down for bed. When he was four he was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome.

Me encanta el pequeño Steve aaron Murphy el hijo de shaun y lea ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The good doctor is a fun show from ABC.

I love this show 😮😊

but he did plenty of it when they brought him home

Just because he didn't cry when they left doesn't mean he is autistic.

As someone who's autistic, despite of having the dream of being a dad, one of my greatest fears is also to pass on my autism to my children, since my autism, even nowdays is the source of many hardships through my life, from being constantly bullied in elementary and middle school, to struggle socializing with people (especially women I like) nowdays. Even if nowadays my autism is barely noticeable and I can pass as an introvert, eccentric and/or socially awkward, sometimes I wish I was neurotypical, even if that means turning into someone else.

I've read the comment and the 'so what?' and I don't think they're trying to reflect that Shaun will love him any less. Just that it's still difficult and Shaun knows it better than anyone. It's like when Forrest asked 'Is he smart or is he like me?' (What a heartbreaking line, really)

I'll know for sure if Steve has autism when I use a spell to make him physically and mentally 20 years old!

Just because he didn't cry when got dropped off, it doesn't mean off the bat it could a sign of Autism

Imagine not having the signature ability of humans: crying 😭.

I would think he would cry because I thought kids with autism have separation anxiety

Entiendo que shuan se preocupa por su hijo ya que el tiene atusmo pero no se sabe si lo tiene hasta que el niño tienga su edad suficiente mente para saber si lo tiene o no

guys, can please tell me which season which episode?

He’s way too young to diagnose that yet, no?

My mom said the same thing about my sister.

This season has been so sad. I hate to see the show go but they've been doing some excellent writing. And obviously we're going to lose Dr. Glassman probably at the end

_The boy is mine._

0:43 accent fail

I did not cry when I first wen to kindergarden, I can assure you that it is not autism , but maybe some reaction defeciency

Autism. Or psychopathy -- which is so much worse.

So was the girls only child to rich familys? So the kids ”clone” would get all the money if the mama died and dr I guess was the dad so he would handle their trustfunds if it would not been discoverd?

These guys are overplotting too much couldve kept the show for much longer
