Henriett Seth F. (born Fajcsák Henrietta, 27 October 1980), also known by the Hungarian pseudonym Seth F. Henriett,[1] is a Hungarian autistic savant poet, writer, musician, and artist.
Childhood
Henriett did not make eye contact in her early childhood. In 1987, all the primary schools in her town refused to admit her because of her communication problems. She was placed in a music and art class,[2] but she would not sing. As a result, in 1989 she was sent to a mentally handicapped primary school by two teachers, although she remained in the music and art class.[3]
She played flute from the age of 8 and played contrabass from ages 10–12, and until the age of 13, she was in many concerts in the Garrison and Soldiers' Club (in Hungarian: Helyorsegi Klub)[4] [5]
She was also found to have echolalia, communications problems and repetitive behaviors.[6] She was diagnosed with childhood autism by the Hungarian Autism Research Group (Autizmus Alapítvány és Kutatócsoport) and two psychiatrists in Eger.
Henriett started writing between the ages of nine and thirteen. She painted autistic art paintings for the House of Arts in Eger,[7] and the Hotel Stadion of Budapest at the East-European Autism Conference, 2004.
Adulthood
Education
She won the Géza Gárdonyi Prize at the age of 18 for her art and literature. Henriett went to Eszterházy Károly College at the age of 18 to study at the Psychology Institution. She has Raven IQ above 140 and Magyar Wechsler Intelligence Test(MAWI) IQ above 120 with some part under an IQ of 90, meaning she is considered an autistic savant.[8]
Writing career
Henriett was invited to Friderikusz Sándor's[9] documentary film, to Szólás Szabadsága ("Freedom of Speech"), in 2005, which was seen by 700,000 people. This documentary film is titled Esőlány ("Rain Girl"). In 2006 Henriett wrote one novel, Autizmus – Egy másik világ ("Autism – Another World"). The book was published by the University of Pécs, in the New Galaxy anthology. Henriett won the 6th-place prize in the International Literature Competition in 2000, at the age of 19. She came in first in 2001, at the age of 20 (by International Alliance of Hungarian Writers).
In 2005, she wrote another book, Autizmussal önmagamba zárva ("Closed into myself with autism"), which was published by the Hungarian Autism Research Group and Ministry for National Cultural Heritage.
Monodramas
In 2010, Orlai Produkciós Iroda made a monodrama, Nemsenkilény, monológ nemmindegyembereknek ("Notanobodycreature"), from Henriett Seth F's book. The textbook contains details of Donna Williams's Nobody Nowhere: The extraordinary Autobiography of an Autistic Girl, Birger Sellin's Don't want to Be Inside Me Anymore: Messages from Autistic Mind, and a few lines from Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. The monodrama played in Esztergom, Budapest, Pécs, Tatabánya, Székesfehérvár and Eger theaters and was adapted into a TV documentary for Hungarian Television in 2010,[10] [11] [12] and played in Budapest, Gyöngyös theaters in 2011.
End of career
She gave up her creative music career at the age of 13, her creative writing career at the age of 25, and painting before the age of 27.[13]
She showed her last art work in Brody Sandor Public Library in June 2007.[14] [15] [16]
Henriett Seth F.'s life and arts can be compared to Arthur Rimbaud's life and arts after her "Little Wassily Kandinsky"'s early childhood savant syndrome years.[17] Henriett had a universal effect of all that was what we now call autism and savant syndrome.
Disabilities
Seth has childhood autism, mitral valve prolapse, nearsightedness, astigmatism, strabismus, three autoimmune disorders, orthopedic diseases and other physical disorders.
