Seth F

Henriett Seth F. (born 1980) is an award-winning autistic Hungarian savant (Hungarian nobility) who is often called "Rain Girl" (in analogy to "Rain Man") for her extraordinary abilities which became evident when she was about 8. She is an accomplished author, poet, musician and artist who became famous in particular for her book Autizmussal önmagamba zárva (Closed into Myself with Autism) published in 2005. In September, 2005 Henriett was invited by Sandor Friderikusz, the famous Hungarian filmmaker, to participate in a documentary titled Freedom of Speech (Hungarian: A Szolas Szabadsaga), a film in which she discusses her autism and her artwork. She also has a proven high IQ (140 on the Raven test) and is included on this list of Great Women of Our Time. She had to give up some of her activities by the age of 27 due to health problems.
