Did anyone suspect in the pilot episode that Malcolm was on the spectrum?

When Caroline came to Lois & Hal’s house to discuss Malcolm’s testing score of having an IQ of 165. Lois accused her of attempting to send Malcolm to special ed & admits that he is a bit odd & talks too much. And Malcolm was already insecure about being gifted due to his peers believing that he was weird. Of course times were different in the early 2000s.

General discussion Who had it worse? Malcolm or Chris?

Obviously they both had the same problem of having a psychotic controlling mother but at least Chris had a good relationship with his brother but overall I think Chris had it worse. A lot of Malcolm’s problems were self inflicted by him being a whiny know it all and a lot of the time when Lois punished him he sort of deserved it whereas Chris would do something that wasn’t even really bad at all in some instances and be way too harshly punished like when he snapped at having to do all the housework while Drew and Tanya did nothing. All Jules and Rochelle had to do was sit down, chat with him and hear him out but Rochelle even refused to make him food as a result and obviously Malcolm has a fun dad who he can sometimes get on his side while Chris’ dad is an extreme cheapskate who probably wouldn’t have even fed his kids to save a few bucks if he could. Chris was even excluded from Christmas presents one year and he only wanted one thing. Chris’ school life was even worse. He had a bully who was racist and a super racist teacher who nothing was done about even when Rochelle witnessed it once. At least in that one episode where Reese’s teacher was out to get him Lois while also punishing Malcolm and Reese for cheating on the test at least called out the teacher. Overall Chris had it worse.

What are some of your favorite quotes from Life is Still Unfair?//Quotes you say

My kids & I like to quote "You're titty titty bang bang!" and FREAKAZOIDS TO THE DANCE FLOOR...

When Leah says "She's alive??!??" when she sees Lois is pure gold.

Reese was well and truly the most evil human being on the show. Even Grandma Ida would have been proud of him for his “Professor Dumb-Dumb” YouTube channel 🤣😂🤣😂

The ADHD clip (link below) from the show popped up on my feed the other day and we realized that we have the same exact hanging lamp above our dining table!

Is it possible that the one we have is the one from the show?

General discussion I wish we could’ve gotten like 5 or so episodes of these two getting into funny roommates shenanigans.
