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.

  • I was hugely disappointed with the programme.  My biggest struggle is not with my asc children, but with those that come into contact with them, primarily teachers, who don't have a clue how to relate to them.  I was, hoping that the programme would focus more on advising the best strategies to use when working with asc children, such as never...... or always ...... or make sure .......type statements.

    I am constantly explaining to teachers where they go wrong and why, yet without experts backing me up, my suggestions are given lip service.

    I know psychologist don't like to tell you what to do, but just pointing out how asc people present just seemed to state the obvious.
