Autism Spectrum Disorders in Popular Media: Storied Reflections of Societal Views

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explore how exceptional characters with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are typified in a world that is becoming increasingly influenced by popular media.

“…For comparison, we shall give as an example the distribution of answers of the surveyed parents of children with disabilities in relation to this category of health problems: 33% speak for special schools, 45% speak for special classes, 13% speak for ordinary classes in a regular school, and 9% find it difficult to answer. At the same time, the authors note that, in general, public opinion on assistance to children with disabilities undergoes significant positive transformations associated with an increase in the activity of citizens in providing assistance and intentions to provide it [Maich &Belcher 2014;Mendoza Velazco & Rivero Padrón, 2019;Loseke, 2003].…”

“…Por tanto, es interesante analizar cómo es la imagen que los medios de comunicación proyectan a sus consumidores sobre el TEA, ya que a partir de esta proyección se conforman algunas cuestiones tan relevantes en el terreno de la inclusión como la difusión de una información rigurosa y carente de sesgos sobre el propio diagnóstico y los mecanismos de intervención (Belcher y Maich, 2014;Lanovaz, Dufour y Shah, 2015). En definitiva, son un elemento a partir del cual se conforman buena parte de las actitudes que los ciudadanos construyen sobre el TEA (Brewer, Zoanetti y Young, 2017;White, Meloy, Mohandie y Kienlen, 2017).…”

“…«Мифы об аутизме», созданные в разные годы, по мнению M. Bennett, повлияли на организацию исследований аутизма и клинической практики, на то, как люди с аутизмом воспринимаются другими людьми в обществе [63]. Внимание, которое проблеме аутизма уделяют средства массовой информации, оказало влияние на повышение осведомлённости общественности и усиление уровня тревоги и даже страха [64]. Как полагает Ebben, частое использование применительно к аутизму в статьях и новостях метафоры «эпидемии, опасности и заражения» подталкивает людей к тому, чтобы стремиться к ликвидации угрозы и обеспечению контроля [65] Важную роль в переосмыслении аутизма как социального конструкта сыграли телевидение, кинопроизводство, литература, которые художественными способами представляя проблемы людей с РАС, были склонны показывать их необыкновенно сильные стороны, получившие название «синдром саванта».…”
