I'm interested to know if you think films and TV programmes portraying aspects of ASD create a positive/negative /stereotyped view of autism to the viewing public. Examples like Rainman, Forrest Gump, Extremely Loud &Incredibly Close, Adam, Mercury Rising, Sheldon in Big Bang Theory, Sherlock, Doc Martin, Hannibal, The Black Balloon, Curious Case of the Dog in the Night time. Do they focus too heavily on the "fascinating" elements, do they use the ASD characters as figures of fun too often? Or, is it generally fair and some discussion better than none? Interested to hear views.
