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.

    Some poeple spit. Its many not so fair to highlight this and feel the need to make the point?

    But it was hilarious, and most a most wonderfully strategically placed comment.Money Mouth

    For me, it just was so clever (even if it was unintended) that it was pointed out whilst at the same time questioning SBC's comments, almost as if to say "he may think he's the expert but he has a lot to learn" and pointing out his spitting was kinda like when people are in awe of high-ranking people, you can bring them down to earth again and remind them they are a fallible human just the same as oneself.  A bit like remembering that the queen goes to the toilet too.).

    Longman is great and I won't have anyone saying otherwise.
