The Autism Stigma and Knowledge Questionnaire (ASK-Q) was developed to assess autism knowledge across cultural contexts. The current study aimed to examine cultural equivalence of the measure using a large, international database. These analyses identified 18 items in need of examination for removal or revision. A team of autism experts recommended several additional changes to reduce stigma and increase cross-cultural sensitivity and accuracy of the items on the measure. These changes resulted in a briefer measure with maintained statistical support.
自闭症污名与知识问卷（ASK-Q）旨在评估不同文化背景下的自闭症知识。本研究旨在利用一个大型国际数据库检验该量表的文化等效性。这些分析确定了18个需要审查以进行删除或修订的项目。一组自闭症专家建议进行几项额外的修改，以减少污名化并提高该量表项目的跨文化敏感性和准确性。这些修改产生了一个更简短的量表，且仍有统计支持。
