Abstract: This work explores the intersection of autism, creativity, and media production, delving into the unique cognitive mechanisms that shape the artistic expressions of autistic individuals. As society increasingly recognizes the diverse contributions of neurodiverse creators, this study investigates how autism influences creative processes and outcomes in media. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and case studies, we highlight the distinct cognitive styles that may enhance creativity in autistic individuals, such as heightened attention to detail, novel problem-solving skills, and unique perspectives on narrative and visual storytelling. Furthermore, we examine the challenges faced by these creators in the media industry and propose strategies for fostering inclusivity and maximizing their potential. By bridging the gap between autism and creative expression, this research aims to contribute to a greater understanding of neurodiversity in the arts and advocate for the recognition of autistic voices in contemporary media.
Keywords: Creativity. Media production. Neurodiversity. Cognitive mechanisms. Artistic expression. Visual storytelling. Narrative. Creative processes.
