Autistic people are afraid to go to concerts. If a child avoids eye contact throughout a conversation, it is a clear symptom of autism spectrum disease. These are two examples of widely circulated statements that risk fueling misinformation and stereotypes about neurodiversity — and that social networks could amplify and make viral. However, not all videos circulating on TikTok about the topic of "autism" are misleading. This is the conclusion of a study published in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders by the University of Trento, which carefully examined Italian-language content posted on TikTok with the hashtag "autismo". The study looked at 148 videos in Italian published between 2020 and 2024. From them, 408 informative statements about autism were collected and examined individually. The entire data shows that around 70% of the evaluated information was correct, 20% was overgeneralized, and only 9% was plainly incorrect. This conclusion provides a more balanced picture than earlier studies on English-language content, which found a substantially higher amount of wrong information (41 percent). This work, according to the authors of the article, paves the way for the future development of alert systems or reliability indicators on social media that can provide users with context regarding the quality of information.
