Uta Frith on Radio 3 (Autism Awareness Day)

longman

Just found out that the development psychologist with views on autism and dyslexia, Professor Uta Frith, is being interviewed every morning this week, at about 10.30 am, on BBC Radio 3, with her choices of music. Its a kind of up-market Desert Island Discs.

Don't know how many if any are regular Radio 3 listeners, but it is interesting that BBC have made the gesture around Autism Awareness Day 2nd April, of bringing on a psychologist interested in autism.

Its an opportunity to get some insight into one of the psychologists who profess to know all about us.

But also maybe NAS ought to have spotted this gesture being made.

  • Watched the Horizon programme this evening, which Anil A Mod flagged above. It was useful as an exploration but I'm never convinced by those experiments with things in baskets or boxes - are they to help NTs understand?

    Also Simon Baron Cohen never seems to convey much of an impression. Uta Frith gives a good account of herself.

    Anyone else manage to watch it?
