Henriett Seth F.
Henriett Seth F. (born Fajcsák Henrietta, 27 October 1980), also known by the Hungarian pseudonym Seth F. Henriett,  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, but she would not sing, so, in 1989, she was sent to a mentally handicapped primary school by two teachers, although she remained in the music and art class.

She played flute from the age of 8 and played contrabass at the age of 10–12, and until the age of 13, she was in many concerts in the Garrison and Soldiers of Club (in Hungarian: Helyorsegi Klub)

She was also found to have echolalia, communications problems and repetitive behaviors. She was diagnosed with childhood autism by Hungarian Autism Research Group (Autizmus Alapítvány és Kutatócsoport) and two psychiatries of Eger.

Henriett started writing between the ages of nine and thirteen. She painted autistic art paintings to the House of Arts, Eger, and Hotel Stadion of Budapest in the East-European Autism Conference, 2004.

She has Raven IQ above 140 and Magyar Wechsler Intelligence Test(MAWI) IQ above 120 with part some under IQ 90, so she was considered an autistic savant.

Writing career
Henriett was invited to the Friderikusz Sándor's documentary film, to Szólás Szabadsága ("Freedom of Speech"), in 2005, that was seen by 700,000 people. This documentary film was entitled Esőlány ("Rain Girl"). In 2006 Henriett wrote one novel, Autizmus – Egy másik világ ("Autism – Another World"). That work was published by 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 a book, Autizmussal önmagamba zárva ("Closed into myself with autism"), that was published by the Hungarian Autism Research Group and Ministry for National Cultural Heritage.
