Knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of autism spectrum disorder in a stratified sampling of preschool teachers in China

However, children of ASD often do not receive appropriate education. This is because the teacher lacks the knowledge and skills necessary to work with these people. In order to better understand the current state of ASD in China, we investigated knowledge and attitudes about infant teacher's disorder.

The knowledge of ASD was also associated with higher education level (p <0.05) and school type (p = 0.023). In general, participants strongly strongly convinced that ASD children need more services and would like to take more professional training.

Autistic spectrum is also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Autism Spectrum State (ASC) and is a family of neurodevelopmental disorders including autism and related disorders. Individuals in the spectrum exhibit two types of symptoms: problems in social communication and social interactions, and limited repetitive behavior patterns, interests, or activities. Symptoms are usually identified between 1 and 2 years of age. Long-term problems may include difficulties in building and maintaining human relations, maintaining work, and performing daily tasks.

Autism is not a single disease but a series of closely related diseases with a common center of symptoms. Everyone in the autism spectrum has social interactions, empathy, communication, and some flexible behavior. However, the combination of disability and symptom varies from person to person.
