Portrayals of Autism in Fictional Media

Post Reply New Topic

For my final college paper, I'm doing an essay on the ways autism has been portrayed in TV shows and movies, and how they can be improved.

Do you mind helping by providing the following?
- Your favourite autistic character, and why you like them.
- Your least favourite autistic character, and why you dislike them.
- Stereotypes you have noticed in autistic characters.
- What could be improved in how autistic characters are portrayed?
- Anything else you noticed about TV shows/movies featuring autism.
