Lamo , aspergers syndrome and psychiatry

[D69]

So recently I was reviewing data about leaks by Bradley Manning. Something is not fully right in this whole story.
I am not defending Lamo. This is pure speculation but still , have a look on videos and tell me if that it is ok how he talks while on his "proper treatment".

This video is back in a days before Asperger syndrome diagnosis , notice how fast he talks on this vid ! :

Then he is being diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome (same stuff they said that Garry McKinnon has).
There is a part of this story on Wired.

Have a look at this excerpt :

...Someone had grabbed Lamo’s backpack containing the prescription anti-depressants he’d been on since 2004, the year he pleaded guilty to hacking The New York Times. He wanted his medication back. But when the police arrived at the Safeway parking lot it was Lamo, not the missing backpack, that interested them. Something about his halting, monotone speech, perhaps slowed by his medication, got the officers’ attention.

An ambulance arrived. “After a few moments of conversation, they just kind of exchanged a look and told me to get on the stretcher,” says Lamo.

Thus began Lamo’s journey through California’s mental health system — and self discovery. He was transported to a local emergency room and put under guard, and then transferred to the Woodland Memorial Hospital near Sacramento, where he was placed on a 72-hour involuntary psychiatric hold under a state law allowing the temporary forced hospitalization of those judged dangerous or unable to care for themselves. As the staff evaluated him and adjusted his medication, a judicial officer extended his stay, and three days became nine.....

and this

.

... “It’s kind of a surprise that it took me until almost 30 to find I had a particular disorder and get proper treatment for it,” Lamo says....

Proper ??? and now this quite recent interview with Lamo ...
So that is proper ??

He is almost overrun by reporters questions. It reminds me of these reporters babbling gibberish that we can see in TV recently.
Something is wrong here. Medications ? Psychic experiments that they did on him during these extra 6 days ? Dunno . Let me know what you guys think.

It's hard to believe that Lamo from the first video and Lamo from the CNN interview are the same person.
Everything about his behavior now is kind of mechanical... his voice, his moves...
And his eyes, it looks as if he has to forcefully close his eyelids instead of just blinking.
It's creepy.

Hard to say whether it's medication or something else, but it all really looks odd.

He is definitely heavily drugged in the second interview - if he's not heavily drugged then he's had brain damage of some sort. He's definitely undergone some serious alteration of one kind or another. Sheesh!

pretty scarry to see how his way of talking and his facial behavior has changed

you could get the impression that he now talkes like a robot and that somebody else put the words in his mouth
