Simon Baron Cohen is a world figure in psychology and autism in particular. Professor of Developmental Psychopathology in the Departments of Psychiatry and Experimental Psychology at the University of Cambridge, he is the Director of the University's Autism Research Centre, and also a Fellow of Trinity College. In this program Baron Cohen discusses his case study 'Another Advanced Test of Theory of Mind'. Cohen explains the aims and origins of his study, illustrates his 'Eyes Test' methodology, explaining why the eyes were chosen, and talks about his findings and their implications for understanding autism. The DVD is intercut with illustrative footage of autistic children, their parents and autistic adults.
