This article explores the impact of media representation and existing stereotypes on public perception and statistical visibility of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The research focuses on how media portrayals influence both social attitudes and the availability of reliable statistical data. A sociological survey conducted as part of the study revealed key factors contributing to the social isolation of individuals with ASD. Analysis of media content — both international and Uzbek — demonstrates that autism is often depicted through the lens of exceptionality, associating it with extraordinary talents or “magical” abilities. Such portrayals, while seemingly positive, contribute to an idealized and often misleading perception of the condition, overshadowing real-life challenges faced by individuals with ASD. The study also highlights a significant gap in Uzbekistan’s statistical data regarding autism. This lack of accurate information is largely rooted in persistent societal stereotypes and insufficient public awareness. The article argues that if the media provided more accurate and comprehensive coverage of autism, it would help shift public opinion, encourage formal recognition and registration of individuals with ASD, and support the development of targeted assistance programs. Ultimately, such efforts could foster the establishment of foundations and non-governmental organizations dedicated to supporting individuals with autism across the country.
