Main Idea: YouTube videos and comments can both educate the public and reveal attitudes or misunderstanding toward autism.
Creditability: Peer reviewed open-access content analysis comparing video and comment samples from 2019 and 2022
-
- 2019 sample included 50 eligible videos (p 1-2.) 2. research analyzed 500 comments from 2019 (p. 1-2.) 3. 2022 follow-up included nine videos and 180 comments (pp 1-2.)
How I will use it: support the central claim that public autism perceptions are shaped by videos and conversation around them.
