Baron-Cohen

Andrew started reading and listening to podcasts about autism and decided to take the online questionnaire designed by psychologist Prof Simon Baron-Cohen.

Simon Baron-Cohen, director of Cambridge University’s Autism Research Centre, said it was “abhorrent” that people with autism were being euthanized without being offered further support.

Amazon Prime Video scored three victories including best comedy film for “Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm,” which also won Sacha Baron-Cohen the award for comedy actor; while TV supporting actor went to John Boyega for his role in Steve McQueen’s anthology “Small Axe.”

Baron-Cohen frequently seems to lose patience with all the explaining that is required and resorts to sweeping statements about what he believes, bolstered more by repetition than explanation.

It would be a much easier case to make if it stayed narrowly focused on the autistic traits found in successful inventors, but Baron-Cohen swings for the scientific fences.
