Portrayals of characters with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in films and TV series are subject to intense debate over whether such representations are accurate. Inaccurate portrayals are a concern as they may lead to increased stereotypes toward the condition. We investigate whether portrayals of characters with autism spectrum disorder in film and TV-series align with DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. Our data show that characters present a full range of characteristics described in the DSM-5. The meaning of this finding is discussed in relation to potential educational value of on screen portrayals and the notion of authenticity in representing the autistic experience.
电影和电视剧中对自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)患者角色的刻画引发了激烈的争论,焦点在于这些刻画是否准确。不准确的刻画令人担忧,因为这可能导致对该病症的刻板印象增加。我们调查了电影和电视剧中自闭症谱系障碍患者角色的刻画是否符合 DSM-5 诊断标准。我们的数据表明,这些角色呈现出 DSM-5 中描述的各种特征。我们还讨论了这一发现的意义,包括屏幕刻画的潜在教育价值以及代表自闭症体验的真实性概念。
