Grey’s Anatomy

February 9, 2009

Who has seen the new Grey’s Anatomy character - the doctor who apparently has Aspergers?

I don’t claim to be an expert on Aspergers by any means.  But, I don’t see any similarities with this character and my son, or anyone that I know with Aspergers for that matter.  I do know that one Aspergers isn’t the same as another’s Aspergers.

I have mixed feelings about this character on the show.  On the one hand, I appreciate the fact that they are willing to showcase Aspergers on such a high profile show.  I also appreciate the fact that this character is also a doctor, showing that people with Aspergers can be successful in life.  On the other hand, the way they portray the doctors Aspergers doesn’t give anyone confidence in this doctors abilities.

I’m planning to check out the other blogs on this topic and I’ll report back what the general consensus is.
