An Exclusive Chat About Autism with a Cast Member of The Good Doctor
An Exclusive Chat About Autism with a Cast Member of The Good Doctor
Tamlyn Tomita plays Allegra Aoki on ABC’s new hit show The Good Doctor, which premiered last month to 17
million people.
The series follows Dr.
Shaun Murphy, a surgical resident with savant syndrome and an autism
spectrum disorder (ASD) and his journey navigating both his medical training and his new coworkers, some of
whom are hesitant to trust him in a surgical position.
Ms.
Tomita’s character, Allegra Aoki, heads funding for the
hospital and finds conflict in presenting Dr.
Murphy as a responsible and competent doctor to ensure donors do
not withdraw their funding.
For this exclusive interview with Autism Parenting Magazine, Ms.
Tomita was ready to dive in and discuss not only
the show, but her experience learning about individuals on the spectrum and her willingness to continue that
learning process off the set as well.
