Ato Essandoh: Isidore Latham

Quotes 

• Dr. Daniel Charles : So, after reading the material I gave you, you told me that you suspected...

  Dr. Isidore Latham : That I'm on the autism spectrum. That I have Asperger's.

  Dr. Daniel Charles : Right. So, how'd you feel if I told you that I thought that your diagnosis could very well be correct?

  Dr. Isidore Latham : Relieved, actually. My whole life, I've never understood why people treated me the way they did. I felt there had to be something wrong with me.

  Dr. Daniel Charles : Not wrong. I mean, it's jut different wiring. That's all.

  Dr. Isidore Latham : Is there anything we can do to change that wiring?

  Dr. Daniel Charles : Well, our wiring is pretty much our wiring, but there's a whole bevy of strategies out there. I mean, medications, social skills training, to help you recognize body language. There's also a new therapy called TMS, but I'd probably recommend you going the traditional routes first.

  Dr. Isidore Latham : TMS?

  Dr. Daniel Charles : Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. It's so far FDA approved only for depression, but there is anecdotal evidence that it can benefit people with spectrum disorders. I only mention it because we have a machine here at the hospital.
