Autism — Uta Frith

Developmental psychologist Uta Frith on psychopathy, the biomarkers of autism, and the autism spectrum

This is good, but how about neurotypical people's failure to relate to autistic people too?

I have just translated carefully intp Spanish three videos by Uta Frith about autism and Theory of mind. However, this channel does not allow contributions. So, Have I wasted my time? Is this information intended just for English speakers? Will you send me a warning if I make a copy of your video in my channel just to be able to add the Spanish subtitles?.


The whole issue is quite disappointing. Maybe I never get an answer from you; maybe my subtitles are never "revised" to see in the Spanish translation in suitable....


I tried all the links you have, but found no way of communicating with you.


Thank you in advance for your answer.

I love my Autistic Brain. I really do. 🌱🌳🌲🌹The only issue I have with it is regarding social things, but these are things I don;t like and people. People who are not honest and direct are time consuming, boring and exhausting. It's more interesting to speak with a Magpie. And safer as they are not deceptive creatures. One in fifty people are Autistic. So we are not all that uncommon. If Autistic people were aware and looking for Autism in the larger population, we would have found us a long, long time ago. What about the Russian woman that identified Autism before Asperger? You're a female scientist. I would have thought that you would speak about her work. I honestly would never want to have a non Autistic brain. I struggle due to my ADHD far more than any social issues around being Autistic. Knowing has made a massive difference. In another space and time, all of my characteristics would have been a serious advantage. Autistic people speaking to one another are more yielding in conversation and generally very patient with each other in conversation. It's just that we don't want to slip into small talk and frankly when people are generally unheard, they will talk a blue streak once they get going. We need to sturdy what NTs say, because of their disparaging way of communicating. It;s easy to misunderstand people who do not communicate in a clear concise way.

Grunya Sukhareva defined it in the 1920's.

Wow...I hear you Uta but I need more like visuals, strategies, best practices and how to use the "Theory of the mind" to help better support people with autism and other organic brain disorders.

I take the point of view of an NT with a pinch of salt. Even Tony A failed to diagnose his own son

[myworldautistic]

Wow. She makes a lot of generalizations.

This is the most negative video I have watched regarding autism and I have viewed hundreds. Plus I have an autistic 3 year old grandson, who is making positive progress regarding social interaction and conversational communication as a highly gifted individual in all other aspects.
