The Good Doctor Season 7 Adding A Second Autistic Character Makes For A Perfect Ending
The Good Doctor season 7 introduced an autistic medical student who idolizes Shaun and she challenges him in a way that will enhance the series' end.
Autism has always been central to The Good Doctor and season 7 adding a second autistic character has set the show up for a perfect series ending. The long-running medical drama stars Freddie Highmore as autistic resident surgeon Shaun Murphy, who has a unique skill set and has had to overcome other doctors' skepticism to succeed in his career. In addition to adding House actor Peter Jacobson, The Good Doctor season 7 has introduced a second autistic character, Charlotte "Charlie" Lukatis (Kayla Cromer), the first main autistic character on a prime-time show played by an autistic actress. Shaun is now an attending physician responsible for supervising Charlie, who is a medical student.
