The Internet also helped many people understand autism and the autism spectrum better, although incorrect articles have also hurt some of the public. The media has begun to portray autism in a better light (despite the recent and continued controversy over vaccinations). The media has depicted special talents of some children with autism. These include the ability to play music without being taught and exceptional memory or math skills as seen in the movie Rain Man. It is important to note that this movie depicts a savant and not your typical autistic person. While some savants are autistic, and vice-versa no direct correlation has been proven.
