Professor Uta Frith, developmental psychologist, is interviewed by Kirsty Young for Desert Island Discs.

Uta Frith's groundbreaking work on autism has revolutionized our understanding of the condition; overturning the traditional, long-held belief that the root of the problems are social & emotional; discovering instead that autism is the result of physical differences in the brain.

She arrived in Britain from Germany in the early 60s for a two-week course in English. Half a century later, and groaning under the weight of myriad fellowships and awards, with an honorary DBE to her name, she is one of the grand dames of British science.

In retirement she continues to mentor and encourage fellow women scientists, not least in her networking group "science&shopping" - an aim being to have some fun.

She says her metaphor for the brain "is that of a garden that is full of the most interesting, different things ... that have to be cultivated and constantly checked."

发展心理学家Uta Frith教授接受了Kirsty Young的《荒岛光盘》采访。

乌塔-弗里思在自闭症方面的开创性工作彻底改变了我们对自闭症的认识；颠覆了长期以来认为问题的根源在于社会和情感的传统观念；相反，她发现自闭症是大脑生理差异的结果。

她在60年代初从德国来到英国，参加为期两周的英语课程。半个世纪后，她在无数的奖学金和奖项的重压下呻吟着，她的名字里有一个荣誉的DBE，她是英国科学界的大人物之一。

退休后，她继续指导和鼓励女科学家同行，特别是在她的网络小组 "科学与购物 "中--目的是为了获得一些乐趣。

她说她对大脑的比喻是："就像一个花园，里面充满了最有趣的、不同的东西......这些东西必须被培养和不断检查。
