My cousin was diagnosed with Williams syndrome and hes awesome. He loves cars and rap music. He does have a son with the same condition but nothing really stops him.
He has a son? How wonderful, it's uncommon for people with intellectual or developmental disabilities to have kids. That gives me hope too. I have autism and am developmentally a teenager. I've always wanted kids though.
@@michellethiesen7972 it's hard to have a kid as is. His kid is great but from my understanding the co-parenting situation is very court oriented and it's rough. My cousin lives in disability from the state at this point on top of that.

the point of the syndrome is that it’s beyond their control.. like thanks for informing us of how strong people with this syndrome are with that comment of how you could never
Me too. The mom's right though. She's such a bright light here. Obviously, she doesn't have a choice in that but the right parent would view that as a beautiful thing. It's a shame they have so many ailments in addition to that.
I get it, she doesn’t want to expose her child to a major and risky surgery like open heart surgery is very serious. Sometimes the benefit outweighs the risks if it means she can live longer and healthier. She did a good job as the actress in the part of playing Williams syndrome.
If I can recognize the actress, that plays the mother of the patient, from another chicago med episode where she plays the mother of a surrogate baby, then I am definitely addicted to Chicago Med.
I'm autistic and I work full-time in the developmental disability field. I often have to remind parents on my caseloads that their children, despite disability, still have awareness of their physical and emotional feelings to a certain degree.
@@L1berty1776 Yes, she is a very sweet girl but I'd be worried that someone would take advantage of her...condition. Can she be taught assertiveness? Or will she need a protector for the rest of her days?

Best non ablest interaction and not overly saccharine portrayal of dealing with a person with a disability I’ve seen in a while. I only hope the actress is a person with Williams. Signed a happy disability advocate who wants more disability representation in the media.
When dealing with rare conditions you cant always find an actor with the illness to play them. Also i wouldnt want a person that vulnerable in Hollywood. Have someone who doesnt have it, play the part but donate revenue from the episode to a charity for that disorder.
@@TheOldstufffan I mean i cant speak for all the disabled people out there so I cant know what they prefer or not. I understand common disorders like dyslexia, or ADHD will be played with actors who have it, same with Downs Syndrom however thats not the case for some disorders, especially rare ones. Its going to be hard to find say a person with schizophrenia that is mentally well long enough to learn lines, learn how to act and film especially if they need to fit a certian age or other characteristics. Sia tried to have an autistic child play the lead role in her film but her set was not austism friendly and constantly over stimulated the child who had to quit. Sometimes it a person with said disability either doesnt exist within the stories characteristics or doesnt want to /cannot audition or play the part. So long as the portrayal is respectful, it shouldnt matter a person without the disablity plays the character. I do agree it is ideal they give a willing actor with a disability the chance to represent their community, I just expect these people to be more focuses on their health.
Ive always wanted to see that, a show with no medical consults that just makes up nonsense that sounds right. "What do we have?" "Car crash, looks like impaction to the glomeral joint of the skull." "Ok, get 'em to to suction bay 3 now"
Clark (the character Dr Rhodes was talking to) is also a med student so while explaining it was for the benefit of the audience, IRL the treating physician would also be educating his student.
Also, if he is orthodox, then it is inappropriate to have contact with a female like that. Obviously he has to touch females to do his job. But the hug was too personal.
Finally some clarification on these hormones! XD Also, endorphins get released as your body's natural painkiller. I'm female, so every time that time of the month comes along I can always tell when the endorphin rush starts.
That’s so scary. But I get part of it. The part where your lungs are so desperate to breathe that it makes your heart pump harder and put stress on it. But for her her heart is pumping harder making it harder for her to breathe. It’s almost and I don’t know this for a fact but I’m guessing the heart and lungs are simbiotic they need each other to work.
Anesthesia is needed to make you fall asleep so don’t feel pain from being cut open, because it’s surgery. According to the mom, however, her daughter’s condition doesn’t mix well with anesthesia.
Not really. General anesthesia means anesthesia that puts your entire body to sleep. There are different drugs through which this can be accomplished, and some might be safer than others for a patient with Williams, which would be something that the anesthesiologist knew. But they can all be dangerous. For an open heart surgery, the patient has to be under general anesthesia. Even if there was a way to do it with localized anesthesia, the trauma response the body would have if it were awake and aware would be too great.
For once, this program shows a parent, while understandably concerned about heart surgery on a girl so young, and of her ability to recover from the effects of anesthesia, at least she has the good sense to realize that there are few options.
Dr. Latham, being an Autistic, would probably know something about Williams Syndrome and how those that have it are cognitively. More episodes featuring Dr. Latham and his being an Autistic should be done (just have a real Autistic there on the set as a technical consultant when doing so!)!
Hi, I know you meant well, but I just want to let you know that “an autistic” is not a proper way to refer to someone. Autistic is an adjective, so in this case you could say “an autistic person”, “an autistic doctor”, or “an autistic man”, for example. You could also say “someone with autism”. Also, it isn’t necessary to capitalize autism. Again, I absolutely know you meant well, I just wanted to let you know the correct way to refer to autism going forward. I’m autistic myself, and I appreciate the sentiment behind your comment. Have a good day :)
@@AK-jt9gx Autistics are not people! I’m an Autistic- I was officially diagnosed as a child but didn’t find out until 4 years ago (I’m 60!). While it does explain why I am the way I am, I’m also ashamed of what I am and I would do anything to become normal! And if that sounds “ableist”: everyone is able!
@@AK-jt9gx thought I’d chime in to give another perspective. I’m Autistic as well, and generally prefer to capitalise because it’s an important part of who I am (I started capitalising when I started reading ‘Late Bloomer’). We all have different language preferences and it’s important to refer to people how they like, so for you I would use person with autism. And different groups in the community have different preferences around the world. So to add my experience, in the different community groups I’ve been in and from following Autistic influencers and advocates, there is a push towards using identity first language to refer to the Autism community and people. Mainly it’s because many of us see being Autistic as a key part of what makes us who we are and as something worth sharing with the world. A common analogy is to say that Autism is not like a handbag, it’s not like an accessory you can remove, there is no person without the Autism. And in the community I’ve engaged with, it would be incorrect to say person with autism as it isn’t something we can, or would want to, distance ourselves from. Being in those spaces has shaped my preference. And some of those groups actually banned person first language, though plenty of people still prefer it or don’t care either way. There was an interesting survey a while ago about language and it showed that the majority of Autistic adults preferred identity first, while professionals in the Autism space preferred person first. On the other hand though, it is expected to use ‘people with disabilities’ for the wider disability community. Where I am, our state government has a page on their website addressing language, they use person first for the disability plan and acknowledged that they were asked by many Autistic people to use identity first for the autism plan and added a bunch of quotes from people about language preference. It’s very subjective but definitely where I am there are a lot of backers for using identity first language.
@@justanotherdreamer9874 thanks for that elaboration! I considered going into detail about person first vs identity first language, but I didn’t have time to type out as much as you did, and thought it was more important to ask her not to say “an Autistic”. It seems she replied to my comment (showing in my notification feed but not in the comment thread) saying she’s autistic herself, but also that “autistics are not people” and she’s “ashamed of the way she is and would do anything to be normal”. Jeanne, I’m sorry if you’ve lived in a world that has taught you these things. I invite you to spend more time connecting with autistic people of all ages, strengths, weaknesses and interests online, and you may come to realize what a diverse community it is and that there’s nothing to be ashamed of. And that certainly, WE ARE PEOPLE as much as anyone else. R/autism and r/autisminwomen are good places to start, if you’ve ever spent time on Reddit. There are Facebook groups for autistic adults as well if that’s more your speed. Side note justanotherdreamer, I’ve never seen Autism intentionally capitalized before your comment and the original comment for this thread, despite being in many online spaces related to autism and reading some literature as well. That’s interesting, thanks for sharing that it’s your preference actually. :)
lol it was so funny seeing the autistic Dr. Latham being hugged by Corinna, the Williams patient. He knows that she can't help it but he's soooo uncomfortable.
There are downsides: They tend to trust everything, and are frequently taken advantage of, they need someone to watch them and take care of their money because they will lose or give away all of it without worrying.

Not really. General anesthesia means anesthesia that puts your entire body to sleep.

It seems she replied to my comment (showing in my notification feed but not in the comment thread) saying she’s autistic herself, but also that “autistics are not people” and she’s “ashamed of the way she is and would do anything to be normal”. Jeanne, I’m sorry if you’ve lived in a world that has taught you these things. I invite you to spend more time connecting with autistic people of all ages, strengths, weaknesses and interests online, and you may come to realize what a diverse community it is and that there’s nothing to be ashamed of. And that certainly, WE ARE PEOPLE as much as anyone else. R/autism and r/autisminwomen are good places to start, if you’ve ever spent time on Reddit. There are Facebook groups for autistic adults as well if that’s more your speed.
Side note justanotherdreamer, I’ve never seen Autism intentionally capitalized before your comment and the original comment for this thread, despite being in many online spaces related to autism and reading some literature as well. That’s interesting, thanks for sharing that it’s your preference actually. :)
lol it was so funny seeing the autistic Dr. Latham being hugged by Corinna, the Williams patient. He knows that she can't help it but he's soooo uncomfortable.

There are other symptoms that affect the heart and intelligence.
There are downsides: They tend to trust everything, and are frequently taken advantage of, they need someone to watch them and take care of their money because they will lose or give away all of it without worrying.
