The Good Doctor star Freddie Highmore breaks down Shaun and Lea's 'heartbreaking' chat
and told Lea he loved her and wanted to be her boyfriend. While Lea did say she loved him, too, she also added that she didn’t think their relationship would work out. From her perspective, Shaun wouldn’t be able to handle her selfishness, neediness, and messiness , and she would have trouble with some of his habits, too.
“You don’t want to be my girlfriend because I have autism?” Shaun asked Lea, who couldn’t bring herself to respond and walked out of the room in tears, leaving Shaun there by himself., who portrays Shaun and also directed the episode, tells EW. “It’s so heartbreaking because it’s this horrible truth and what I think that Paige [Spara] did such a wonderful job at in playing that moment is that we feel for Lea just as much as we feel for Shaun.
Although Highmore understands just how hurt Shaun feels in this moment, he also understands where Lea is coming from to an extent. “I don’t think Lea is an inherently prejudice person. Even though the words will suggest the opposite, I don’t think it’s as simple as her saying, ‘The fact that you have autism means I can never love you, or I can’t be with you,'” he says.
Highmore, however, doesn’t believe the situation is completely hopeless. “I also think there’s a real sense of confusion that Lea is left with at the end of the episode. I don’t think it’s as clear cut as, ‘This is it. It’s all said and done.’ I think she doesn’t respond because she doesn’t know what to say. There is a horrible truth behind Shaun’s question that she’s left with and she doesn’t know how to respond to it, because I don’t think it’s as simple as yes and no.
