I don't think that the way schizophrenia and autism is portrayed in the media is at all positive and actually perpetuates stigma.

Yes, laughter provides for the release of unconscious anxiety or
aggressions.
That's one (stigma, that is) that I fear and try never to make fun of anyone because of knowing that what we do to others, we also do to ourselves.
And when and if we ever demean another person, it records itself in the unconscious mind without exception and causes one to despise oneself.
Can you even imagine what the minds of those who hold stigmas must be like? God save us from that!
