Abstract
Autism is a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction, verbal and non-verbal communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. Autism affects over two million individuals in the U.S. and tens of millions worldwide. It is important for parents to pay attention to autism problem, know where to have their child evaluated and where to get help. Informational video is an ideal way to disseminate autism facts, expose autism myths and educate the public about the reality of autism from inside. Although there are lots of autism informational videos online, these videos are not geared to Asian immigrants in America. The video project, Autism (and Developmental Disabilities) for Asian Families was designed to rid the stigma in the Asian community associated with autism. With in-depth interview, survey, data collection and analysis, this thesis was designed to find out the outcome of the video project, and to determine what information and style are best for the Asian audience.
