Abstract

We explored whether providing information that artistic photography depicts individuals on the autism spectrum and their special interests influences viewers’ preferences. Our findings demonstrated a positive impact of providing such information on participants’ ratings of aesthetic emotions and judgments. The present study suggests that artistic activities showing autistic individuals can serve as positive self-advocacy tools when framed by contextual information.
