“…While the theorising behind the concept of the double empathy problem was initially derived through a combination of personal experience, anecdotal accounts and limited qualitative data, this area of concern has since been approached by numerous research projects, particularly within the field of Psychology (e.g. Chen et al, 2021;Crompton et al, 2020;Heasman & Gillespie, 2018;Sasson et al, 2017;Sheppard et al, 2016), but also more broadly to the disciplines of Neuroscience (Bolis et al, 2017), Philosophy (Chapman, 2019), Linguistics (Williams et al, 2021), Film Studies (Eastwood et al, 2022) and Design (Gaudion et al, 2014). For instance, Gaudion et al (2014) explored how to develop shared experiences with autistic adults and non-autistic designers to develop empathic understanding of autistic experience to enhance their designs.…”

“…Hall [4] (p. 225) describes the "spectacle of the 'other'" and draws our attention to the representational practices of stereotyping that are used in popular culture and mass media. This is supported by Eastwood et al [5] (p. 9), who said, "Autistic people represented in film have often been displayed as an exotic other or a plot device, further embedding ableist assumptions and stereotypes".…”

Individuals’ understandings of autism vary significantly, with multiple factors influencing their conceptions of autism. Varying conceptions between teachers and students in inclusive school settings may lead to diminished educational experiences for both groups. Our research was focused on exploring the influences on teachers’ and autistic students’ conceptions or misconceptions of autism. We were also interested in whether more implicit influences, including the commodification of autism, influence teachers’ and autistic students’ conceptions of autism. To ensure the research respected the needs of the young autistic participants, the purposes and processes involved in the research design were presented to a group of autistic adults for feedback and recommendations. Therefore, this paper presents two distinct aspects of the research: the outcomes of engagement with autistic adults in the design phase of the research and the outcomes of engaging with the research participants, six teachers, and four autistic adolescents. The qualitative research involved semi-structured interviews and photo-elicitation responses. A key starting question encouraged the participants to share a feeling, memory, or image on hearing the word autism, and following an exploration of their responses, they were invited to select a photo from those presented that reminded them of autism. The autistic adults contributed to the selection of the final twelve black-and-white images used in the photo-elicitation process. The adults were asked to select those they felt most closely represented their conceptions of autism. Of interest, only one photo was chosen in common by all research participants, but their explanations for choosing the image varied. Responses to other selected photos are also shared to highlight the varied conceptions of autism generated by the teachers and autistic students and the explicit and implicit influences on their conceptions. The influence of lived experiences and the commodification of autism were evident in the participants’ responses.

“…Wśród badaczy kina wiele mówi się o dość sztampowym ukazywaniu niepełnosprawności, zwłaszcza autyzmu -kiedy to cały nacisk filmowego obrazu skoncentrowany jest na wydobyciu cech charakterystycznych dla tej dysfunkcji (za sprawą pozycjonowania kamery czy kadrowania), zwłaszcza specyficznych zachowań, sposobu bycia czy porozumiewania się, które określano posiłkując się diagnozami psychologicznymi i psychiatrycznymi. Co więcej, postać autysty o wyjątkowych zdolnościach jest ukazywana jako katalizator zmiany czy nawet odkupienia postaci nieautystycznej (Eastwood et al 2022). Taki wizerunek znajdziemy w oscarowym Rain Manie (1988) czy innych post-rain-manowych produkcjach.…”

Głównym celem artykułu jest przedstawienie dwóch sylwetek sawantów, będących z jednej strony osobistościami świata nauki, a z drugiej osobami borykającymi się z zaburzeniami neurorozwojowymi i schizofrenią. Są to postaci Temple Grandin i Johna Nasha. Stały się one również inspiracją dla twórców dwóch filmów fabularnych, które weszły już do kanonu kinematografii, były też wielokrotnie nagradzane, także za kreacje protagonistów, doskonale portretując nie-neurotypowych geniuszy. Hermeneutyczna analiza tych obrazów kinowych ma na celu ukazanie specyfiki funkcjonowania prodigious savant ze zwróceniem szczególnej uwagi na rolę najbliższego otoczenia w budowaniu sprzyjających warunków dla rozwoju ich szczególnych talentów.
