UNASSIGNED:自闭症的虚构写照在提高认识方面发挥了作用,塑造知识,影响对自闭症的态度。然而,这些描述的准确性是一个争论的话题。自闭症社区对自闭症虚构人物的看法进行了有限的研究。本研究旨在探讨自闭症患者的认知准确性,教育福利,和非典型的影响,Netflix的喜剧剧集专注于自闭症主角的经历。
UNASSIGNED:参与者是自闭症社区的77名成员(自闭症N=65,父母/伴侣N=12),通过社交媒体招募。参与者完成了以定性为主的横断面调查。我们对定量数据进行了描述性统计分析,并使用反身性主题分析方法对定性数据进行了分析。
未经评估:大多数参与者描述山姆的描述是准确的,强调它作为自闭症的一个例子是准确的。与自闭症患者相比,家庭成员似乎更有可能认为非典型具有信息性益处,并且有可能改善对自闭症的态度。确定的主要问题是自闭症流行媒体形象的刻板印象,缺乏多样性,以及将自闭症描述为主角及其家人的负担或挑战。
UNASSIGNED:本研究建立在先前关于娱乐媒体中自闭症刻画的研究基础上,通过调查自闭症社区对这种虚构刻画的看法。它确定,为了娱乐媒体更好地代表自闭症患者的生活经验,并提高社区对自闭症的理解,需要增加描绘的多样性,并需要自闭症患者参与开发和生产过程。
UNASSIGNED:电视和电影中的自闭症描述可能会增加自闭症的意识和知识,并改善对自闭症患者的态度。然而,它们也可能强化自闭症的刻板印象和消极态度。研究表明,电影和电视故事中的自闭症角色越来越多。一些研究发现,这些描述在很大程度上是准确的,其他人,他们是误导,还有一些是混合的。尚未研究的是自闭症社区成员对准确性的看法,值,以及这些虚构人物的影响。
UNASSIGNED:这项研究的目的是探索自闭症社区成员-自闭症患者及其家人-对Netflix电视连续剧《非典型》及其自闭症主角SamGardner的看法。
UNASISIGNED:研究人员招募了77名看过非典型症状的人:65名自闭症患者,10个自闭症儿童的父母,和两个自闭症成年人的伴侣。参与者通过社交媒体招募并完成了匿名在线调查。问题解决了他们对将Sam描绘成自闭症患者的准确性的看法,以及他们是否认为该节目会改善自闭症知识和态度。
UNASSIGNED:大多数参与者认为Sam\对非典型自闭症的描述是准确的,并且对非自闭症患者具有一定程度的教育益处。家庭成员似乎比自闭症患者更有可能认为萨姆的描述是准确的,相信这个节目有教育意义,并同意该节目可能会导致对自闭症的更积极的态度。参与者表示关注,山姆的描绘是自闭症的刻板印象男性代表,不能代表更广泛的自闭症社区,并且该节目提出了以缺陷为重点的自闭症观点。
UNASSIGNED:这项研究提供了有关自闭症社区对自闭症描绘准确性的看法的宝贵信息,潜在的教育利益,以及对态度的可能影响。它确定,为了娱乐媒体更好地代表自闭症患者的生活经验,并提高社区对自闭症的理解,需要增加描绘的多样性。
未经评估:这项研究的主要弱点是女性比例过高(64%),关注一部男主角的电视剧,以及由于研究的匿名性,参与者的生活经历细节有限。
UNASSIGNED:这项研究应有助于与娱乐媒体的制作人进行宣传,使他们能够听到自闭症社区的声音,并接受他们对自闭症更具包容性和代表性的描述的建议。这样做有可能提高人们的认识,接受,以及对更广泛社区中自闭症患者的欣赏。
UNASSIGNED: Fictional portrayals of autism play a role in raising awareness, shaping knowledge, and influencing attitudes toward autism. However, the accuracy of these portrayals is a topic of debate. Limited research has been conducted with the autism community regarding their perceptions of fictional portrayals of autism. This study aimed to explore autistic people\'s perceptions of the accuracy, educational benefits, and impact of Atypical, a Netflix comedy drama series focused on the experiences of an autistic protagonist.
UNASSIGNED: Participants were 77 members of the autism community (autistic N = 65, parent/partner N = 12), recruited via social media. Participants completed a cross-sectional predominantly qualitative survey. We undertook descriptive statistical analyses on the quantitative data and used a reflexive thematic analysis approach to analyze the qualitative data.
UNASSIGNED: The majority of participants described Sam\'s portrayal as accurate, emphasizing that it was accurate as one example of autism. Family members appeared more likely to perceive Atypical as having informative benefit and being likely to improve attitudes toward autism than were autistic people. The primary concerns identified were the stereotypical representation of a popular media image of autism, the lack of diversity, and the depiction of autism as a burden or challenge for the protagonist and his family.
UNASSIGNED: This study builds on previous research on the portrayal of autism in
entertainment media by investigating the perception of the autism community regarding one such fictional portrayal. It identifies that for
entertainment media to better represent the lived experience of autistic people and improve community understanding of autism, there is a need for increased diversity of portrayals and for the involvement of autistic people in the development and production process.
UNASSIGNED: Portrayals of autism on television and in movies may increase autism awareness and knowledge and improve attitudes toward autistic people. However, they may also reinforce autism stereotypes and negative attitudes. Research shows that there are an increasing number of autistic characters in movies and television stories. Some studies find that these portrayals are largely accurate, others that they are misleading, and some that they are mixed. What has not been studied is what members of the autism community think about the accuracy, value, and likely impacts of these fictional portrayals.
UNASSIGNED: The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of members of the autism community—autistic people and their families—about the Netflix television series Atypical and its autistic main character Sam Gardner.
UNASSIGNED: The researchers recruited 77 people who had watched Atypical: 65 autistic people, 10 parents of autistic children, and 2 partners of autistic adults. Participants were recruited through social media and completed an anonymous online survey. Questions addressed their perceptions of the accuracy of the portrayal of Sam as an autistic person, and whether they thought the show would improve autism knowledge and attitudes.
UNASSIGNED: The majority of participants thought that Sam\'s portrayal of autism within Atypical was accurate and that it would have some degree of educational benefit for non-autistic people. Family members appeared more likely than autistic people to think that Sam\'s portrayal was accurate, to believe that the show had educational benefit, and to agree that the show was likely to lead to more positive attitudes about autism. Participants expressed concern that Sam\'s portrayal was a stereotypical male representation of autism that was not representative of the broader autistic community and that the show presented a deficit-focused view of autism.
UNASSIGNED: This study provides valuable information regarding the autism community\'s perceptions of the accuracy of the portrayals of autism, the potential educational benefit, and the likely influence on attitudes. It identifies that for
entertainment media to better represent the lived experience of autistic people and improve community understanding of autism, there is a need for increased diversity of portrayals.
UNASSIGNED: The main weaknesses of the study are the overrepresentation of females (64%), the focus on a single television series with a male protagonist, and the limited detail on the participants\' life experiences due to the anonymous nature of the study.
UNASSIGNED: This study should assist in advocacy with the producers of
entertainment media, enabling them to hear the voices of the autism community and take on board their suggestions for more inclusive and representative portrayals of autism. Doing so has the potential to raise awareness, acceptance, and appreciation of autistic people in the broader community.
