EPISODE

4. Lines in the Sand

House takes the case of Adam, a 10-year-old severely autistic boy who screams loudly for no apparent reason, at least not a reason his three previous doctors could diagnose. The team wonders why House is taking the case - the boy's not sick; his symptoms seem to be a product of his autism.

House takes the case of Adam ( Braeden Lemasters ), a 10-year-old severely autistic boy, who screams loudly for no apparent reason. Cuddy makes a minor change to House's office and he refuses to use it until it is returned to its original state; thus, he finds himself wandering the hospital in need of a temporary office. Meanwhile, Ali ( Leighton Meester ) still has a crush on House and is becoming a nuisance. Final diagnosis: Baylisascaris procyonis (Adam) and Coccidioidomycosis (Ali)
