How Media Shapes The Narrative of the Message Including Autism

To shape the narrative of any message is important to shaping any policy including autism. What the heck does that mean and why should we care? Autism services, resources and research come from autism policy which come from agency leaders and policy makers who are influenced by what they see, hear and listen via the media. Therefore, because those telling autism stories will say it, write and print it from their views and unless that is diverse then it is not the whole story. Get it, in order to tell the whole autism story – one must understand it or reflect from all lenses and corners.
