I'm curious about how the role of a mentor changes throughout the show. Not necessarily how the mentor changes, but perhaps how what the mentor wants to impart changes. Within the Good Doctor, Glassman starts as a logical check for Shaun. However, as the show progresses, he changes into a more emotional check and helping Shaun recognize his feelings. I think that after group work, the values within the show are still relatively the same. But I am recognizing that within the topic of diverse characters, there can be those that are diverse in terms of their skills. Glassman is incredibly softspoken and is effective at communicating with Shaun. Neil Melendez, on the other hand, is incredibly logical as is Shaun. Lea is a character that shows initial conflict between her heart and her brain. I think this group work reaffirmed my belief about how diversity and variety is valued in this show
I think that having a character on the spectrum, we may not see as much change as in another neurotypical doctor that may have more touch and fluctuation with their emotions. I think looking for how the mentor imposes changes throughout the show may depict more about him in that sense. You make very interesting points, I love this blog.
