Draaisma, Douwe. "Generic Images of Autism." Psychologist, vol. 27, no. 10, Oct. 2014, pp. 768-769.

This article published in the Psychologist, while short, still brings up the bigger question and idea of how we see and perceive autism through the stereotypes we are exposed to through literature and media. While the stereotypes cannot be dispelled, being aware that we may not have the full comprehension of autism is a step in the right direction. In fact, many people with autism contest and challenge the stereotypes placed on through different ways, whether with social media or literature. Still, one finds the perception of autism today shaped not by psychologists or psychiatrists, but by fiction. An unfortunate aspect of this is many autistic characters fall victim of savant syndrome or constrained to certain narratives, confusing fiction from non-fiction and allowing the idea an autistic character could never be a much more complex character.
