The refrigerator mother theory of autism has been around for decades, blaming mothers for being cold and distant & causing autism in their kids (This is so, so, so not true) As the most significant factor in having an autistic child is having autistic traits or being autistic yourself.

It’s hard to ignore a pattern: for decades, autistic characters on TV and in movies have overwhelmingly been straight white men. From Rain Man to Atypical to The Big Bang Theory, the portrayal barely shifts—while millions of autistic girls, women, people of color, and nonverbal individuals never see themselves reflected at all. So who are these stories actually for? Because they certainly aren’t made for the families living this every day. #AutismRepresentation #Autism #RefrigeratorMoms | Refrig

Hollywood has two autistic characters: ✨ The genius savant 💔 The “burdensome” child And that’s a problem. These portrayals flatten autistic people into tropes—props for other characters’ development—while erasing the full, human experience of autism. Especially those who are lower-support, nonverbal, or don’t fit the feel-good narrative. We dig into why these stereotypes persist and what true representation should look like. Watch or listen to the full episode. #RefrigeratorMoms #AutismRepresen
