Meanwhile in China they have "The Good Doctor" memes for some reason

If it's specifically the scene where the white doctor is throwing a tantrum and the Asian doctor is sitting in a chair barely reacting, I can see how that can be a meme for when the west throws a tantrum

I google it and it seems to just be a generally memed show, i think your thing is more the english version?

"Amputate everything below the neck" is the caption

Coincidentally I was talking to one of my Chinese doctor friends who works in the West and she said that basicly the same thing happened to her but with a Neurotypical colleague. To quote her: "He's not doing that because he's autistic. Hes doing that because he's white."

I feel like something about that guy's performance in Good Doctor should be punishable by law but maybe I'm a self hating autistic

Because the actor's prbly screwed up his job or he intentionally type-cased the protagonist, "the Good Doctor", as ebil or unintentionally malicious for some reason...

I think it's gotta do with that episode with the autistic patient character....
