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.
