Numerous films and TV series worldwide have depicted characters with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and savant skills. This study describes the portrayal of ASD and savant skills in Korean films and dramas. Starting with the 2005 film , characters with ASD have been featured in five films and four dramas. Most portrayals were based on the diagnostic criteria and pathogenesis of ASD, as outlined in the DSM-5. Of the 10 characters with ASD in these films and dramas, seven were male and three were female, with seven of them possessing savant skills. In the future, caution and guidance on the general characteristics of ASD from experts should be provided with the release of ASD-based films and TV dramas in Korea; in addition, critiques and social discourse pertinent to the reality of ASD should be provided by people with ASD, their families, and relevant experts.
全球众多电影和电视剧都刻画了患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）且具备学者症候群技能的角色。本研究描述了韩国电影和电视剧中对ASD及学者症候群技能的刻画。从2005年的电影开始，ASD角色出现在五部电影和四部电视剧中。大多数刻画都基于《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第五版（DSM - 5）中概述的ASD诊断标准和发病机制。在这些电影和电视剧中的10个ASD角色中，7名是男性，3名是女性，其中7人具备学者症候群技能。未来，随着韩国以ASD为题材的电影和电视剧的发行，应向专家寻求关于ASD一般特征的谨慎建议和指导；此外，ASD患者、他们的家人及相关专家应提供与ASD现实情况相关的评论和社会讨论。
