    25 mai 1941

    Uta Frith est une psychologue du développement pionnière dont le travail a profondément façonné notre compréhension de l'autisme et de la dyslexie. Ses recherches explorent les neurosciences cognitives de ces conditions, cherchant à en démêler les complexités. Grâce à ses écrits influents et à son mentorat, elle a inspiré des générations de chercheurs et de cliniciens, laissant une marque indélébile dans le domaine.

      Professors and husband-and-wife team Uta and Chris Frith have pioneered major studies of brain disorders throughout their nearly 50-year career. In this book, their distinguished careers serve as a prism through which they share the compelling story of the birth of neuroscience and their paradigm-shifting discoveries across areas as wide-ranging as autism and schizophrenia research, and new frontiers of social cognition including diversity, prejudice, confidence, collaboration and empathy. Working with their son Alex Frith and artist Daniel Locke, they examine the way that neuroscientific research is now focused on the fact we are a social species, whose brains have evolved to work cooperatively

      Li hanno chiamati bambini pesce, bambini della luna, tanto appaiono misteriosi: i bambini autistici hanno eretto un muro impenetrabile tra se stessi e il mondo che li circonda. Uta Frith riprende le fila del suo indiscusso e fondamentale studio sull’autismo infantile e delinea i più recenti sviluppi della ricerca neuropsicologica e neurologica sul disturbo. «Questa storia del viaggio della scienza verso la comprensione dell’autismo comprende idee romantiche e rivela reazioni emotive incredibilmente forti che io ho da tempo accettato come una componente del fascino che provo studiando l’autismo. Comprende anche alcuni fatti nudi e crudi provenienti dalla neuroscienza cognitiva. Credo che combinare i due opposti, la scienza rigorosa e le idee romantiche, l’obiettività e la passione, non sia impossibile, e l’enigma dell’autismo me ne ha dato la prova».
