Oliver Platt: Daniel Charles

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.

• Dr. Sarah Reese : I spoke to my mom today. Told her I was a psych resident.

  Dr. Daniel Charles : Oh, just now you're telling her?

  Dr. Sarah Reese : Well, yeah. I knew how she'd react. And I was right. She... laughed. She said I was the last person she could ever imagine being a psychiatrist.

  Dr. Daniel Charles : Wow. Real vote of confidence there.
