The World Wide Web is a common method for obtaining information on autism spectrum disorders, however, there are no guidelines for finding websites with high quality. We conducted two studies examining the characteristics and/or quality of autism websites in 2009 and 2010. We found websites with a .gov top-level domain had a statistically significant association with high quality websites and websites offering a product or service and websites promoting a non-evidence-based practice had a statistically significant association with poor quality websites. Based on our work we concluded that online information should not replace the information consumers obtain from professionals. Further implications for practice, overview of study limitations and future directions are provided.
万维网是获取自闭症谱系障碍信息的常用方法，但是，目前尚无查找高质量网站的指南。我们在 2009 年和 2010 年进行了两项研究，以检查自闭症网站的特征和/或质量。我们发现，具有.gov 顶级域名的网站与高质量网站之间存在统计学上的显著关联，而提供产品或服务的网站以及推广非循证实践的网站与低质量网站之间存在统计学上的显著关联。根据我们的工作，我们得出结论，在线信息不应替代消费者从专业人员那里获得的信息。进一步的实践意义、研究局限性概述和未来方向。
