Membersix: The research is to see how your respective culture sees you and how you see your respective culture. (Or multiple cultures, depending on the situation).
My personal theory is that at least in the case of the American media, autism is just another war-front. The media is filled with crises and wars--trying to use shock value to get attention. By focusing on the aspects that are viewed as negative by American cultures, the media gets their story, and people see ASDs as disorders/diseases/what have you. Also, by not focusing on the fact that autistic spectrum disorders are spectrum disorders, a quick and easy label is made.

I should have put that in the original post...*forehead-slap*

But like said, nothing is finalized, but that is the gist of things so far. I don't think it will vary too much from that.

LostinSpace: I'll have to get back to you on that. I might, but I don't think I will. *crosses fingers*

You would definitely get a response from me!
