Dr. Aaron Glassman : I vetted him like I would any other candidate.
Allegra Aoki : And you genuinely thought that this Board wouldn't reasonably have any doubts about hiring a surgeon who's been diagnosed with autism? So justify your decision.
Dr. Aaron Glassman : I met Shaun Murphy when he was fourteen years old. I was living in Wyoming at the time. He was, and he still is, an extraordinary young man. Yes, he has autism, but he also has savant syndrome - genius-level skills in several areas. He has almost perfect recall. He has spatial intelligence. And he sees things and analyzes things in ways that... that are just remarkable. In ways that we can't even begin to understand. Those are assets. Undeniable assets for any doctor, particularly a surgeon.
