Saw year four on TV here, so I borrowed the first three years from the local library. After watching all of the episodes, I purchased the boxed set. Not too many different conclusions you can come to about that, now is there!?!
Oh, you want details! OK, my impression is that House is an outlyer in the autistic range: Unlike most autistics represented by the media, House is able to look people in the eye, but he is barely social, and only with colleagues who contribute to his curing -- he won't even bother seeing patients...that's a function for his minions. But you don't want him to socialize with you, he is without mercy: he says right off the cuff what, hours after a conversation or confrontation over, and in retrospect, what we wanted to say and wish we had said. And forget about bedside manner; there is none. Beligerance would be a more apt description His staff of three, and his manager, and his best friend, Wilson -- who has his own idiosyncracy of "needing" needy people as friends/wives -- are all enablers of House's quirkiness, usually by discounting House's extreme unlikablity to the contributions made by House's exceptional acquired knowledge and skills of perception about symptoms and people, especially his often-stated idiom, "everybody lies". There's lots more to say, and I will leave it to the next reviewer. Happy viewing, All!
