Parents play a critical role in the early identification of ASD because of their experiential knowledge and frequent observations of their children. Being knowledgeable about ASD may help parents recognize early signs and symptoms, know to which professionals to express their concerns, and better navigate systems of care. An appropriate measure of ASD knowledge for parents is essential to further understand the importance of ASD knowledge in this population. This study sought to validate the Autism Spectrum Knowledge Scale-General Population Version (ASKSG) with a sample of parents with children under the age of 18 years in the United States. Results indicate that the ASKSG is a valid and reliable measure for use with parents.
父母在早期识别 ASD 方面起着至关重要的作用，因为他们拥有经验知识和对孩子的频繁观察。了解 ASD 可能有助于父母识别早期迹象和症状，知道向哪些专业人士表达他们的担忧，并更好地驾驭护理系统。父母对 ASD 的了解程度的适当衡量标准对于进一步了解 ASD 知识在这一人群中的重要性至关重要。本研究旨在使用美国年龄在 18 岁以下儿童的父母样本验证《自闭症谱系知识量表-普通人群版》（ASKSG）。结果表明，ASKSG 是一种有效且可靠的父母使用的测量工具。
