Multiple times in this episode Quincy is asked about his creditials in child psychology. And he admits he has none.
And that's the crux of the problem with this episode: Quincy is over his head and it's not clear why we should care about this conflict.
People watched Quincy for the murder mystery aspect. Too often, Quincy gets too antagonistic and preachy.
In fact, at one point in this episode he refers to autism as being a death sentence.
A problem I have with Quincy overall is how Quincy goes overboard in his advocacy. Wasn't there something within his area of expertise that he could have been on his soapbox rather than this? That issue isn't being addressed because of his zealousness.
Since when does a coroner attend a birthday party of someone they barely know?
Fortunately we know more now about autism than what is portrayed in this episode.

As a M*A*S*Hophile since the series started I have to ask why anyone thought another retrospective was needed. It's not.
This special does not provide any new information to a casual viewer who has previously read/seen anything about this series.
Interviews with deceased actors are recycled without any disclaimer they were shot decades ago. And Mac is again shown in the golf cart.
Other interviews may be newer but don't offer anything new. Yes, we know Loretta was fond of Harry based on her comments year ago. Do we need a new interview that says the same thing?
Besides, memories fade so the newer interviews are less reliable.
Behind the scenes footage. I didn't notice any.
If you want to learn about this show I suggest you watch and/or read one of the many articles/videos done decades ago, when memories were fresh and facts weren't tarnished.
Skip this one.
