Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to look at recent trends in scientific literature on the portrayal of autism in published and broadcast media and social awareness of the subject.
Design/methodology/approach
A bibliometric analysis of content of such publications was performed.
Findings
Results show that portrayals of autism from books, newspapers, news broadcasts, films and TV series are being scrutinized. Research focuses on the social categories of resulting stereotypes, the quality of such depictions, the benefits and downsides, stigmatization of individuals (with autism) and how society responds to these portrayals.
Originality/value
It is important to understand if media portrayals of autism are creating a realistic and constructive awareness of autism in society.
