Abstract

This study aimed to explore the stigma and knowledge about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) among Indonesian parents and professionals (teachers and therapists). Data was collected using The Autism Stigma and Knowledge Questionnaire (ASK-Q), which was translated into the Indonesian language. The sample consisted of 125 parents and professionals attending a seminar about autism in Malang, Indonesia. The results of this study indicated that Indonesian parents and professionals in the sample had adequate knowledge of autism and did not endorse the stigma of autism. Results arediscussed in terms of their implications for future research and trainings on autism.
