    The Autism Knowledge survey allows for the assessment of knowledge disparities arising from diverse backgrounds, identifying barriers to mutual understanding, and highlighting groups that require specialized training in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) related areas. By assessing knowledge across subdomains such as diagnosis, etiology, and intervention, the AKS aims to enhance people's understanding of ASD. The research emphasizes the significance of accurate ASD knowledge in care provision and could promise to transform diagnosis, treatment, and training within the ASD field. Through rigorous psychometric validation and statistical analyses, this study offers insights that contribute to improving the quality of life for individuals with ASD.
