He laughed so hard & smiled so very big & was having the fun & nice emotional few happy tears reactions getting to exchange our PERSONAILITY BY LAUGHING WITH EACH OTHER AS WE STARED AT EACH OTHER AS WE PLAYED, "CLIMB TO THE TOP OF TREE DEBBIE & WE WILL BOTH SEE WHAT'S AT THE TOP OF THE TREE AS WE BOTH LOOKED INTO THE MIRROR I PUT ON WALK ACROSS FROM MY FACE.

Autistic people were not put here to be used as a gimmik to sell a TV show. Also, Shaun was a far too understanding when a young Autistic patient was murdered by the parents in the hospital. This happens in real life all the time. The show is sickening. I Am Autistic and hate this series. It is produced by Autism speaks. That thinks the way to "cure" Autism is to abort babies who have it.

Spoiler alert. Thinking outside the box. Although I'm certainly no screenwriter, after watching episode 9 it would be interesting to find that Dr. Murphy did indeed leave. Maybe only for a while, but speculating on the dramatic possibilities of such a development, it would be refreshing and entertaining to watch the character's interactions with people outside of the hospital environment and perhaps gain and grow somewhat from those experiences. Meanwhile, I guess it would be up to the actual screenwriters to make sure that the characters back at the hospital have an interesting enough storyline to stand alone for a while, and I suppose it would be an opportunity to further develop their characters.
