【 摘 要 】

The general population of China has misconceptions about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The measurement of ASD knowledge is conducive to conducting widespread scientific publicity. However, China lacks a structurally complete ASD knowledge scale with good reliability and validity. Therefore, this study aimed to introduce a suitable Chinese ASD knowledge scale. Based on 317 participants, this study revised the Chinese version of the Autism Spectrum Disorder Knowledge Scale(ASKSG), assessed its reliability, validity, and psychometric properties, and analyzed the ASD knowledge of the Chinese general population of this subject sample. The results provided support for the Chinese version of the ASKSG as a suitable measure for assessing ASD knowledge and indicated that ASD knowledge in this study’s sample was relatively poor, particularly with regard to etiology and epidemiology.
