Exploring Autism: A Conversation with Uta Frith
Autism, it seems, is all around us. Once thought to only affect a tiny minority of 0.04% of the population, modern researchers are now of the view that it is more than 25 times more prevalent than we had once imagined, with current figures estimating that more than one in a hundred should properly be viewed as autistic. So what is going on? Are we in the throes of an “autism epidemic”?
Uta Frith, one of the world's leading researchers on autism, invited us into her home in London, England to help us explore these questions and to discuss what is both known and unknown about this seemingly increasingly prevalent condition. Even the question "What is autism?" is not an easy one to answer, Uta explains, as she guides us through the latest research and current understanding of the topic while offering insightful advice for how best to help those growing up with autism.
