患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的年轻人越来越多地进入大学。从同龄人的接受和融入大学的重要性已被公认为成功的关键因素。我们研究了大学生对ASD学生的知识和态度，导致这种态度的潜在因素，以及相隔5年的两个队列的态度是否发生了变化。与第一个队列的学生相比，后一个队列对ASD学生表现出更高的知识和更积极的态度。然而，知识并没有被发现是一个显着的预测态度和许多学生谁是了解ASD仍然报告消极的态度参与大学和课堂活动与ASD的学生。
Young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are attending university in increasing numbers. The importance of acceptance from peers and integration into the university have been recognized as key factors for success. We examined university students' knowledge and attitudes towards students with ASD, underlying factors that contributed to such attitudes, and whether attitudes changed across two cohorts 5-years apart. The later cohort demonstrated greater knowledge and more positive attitudes toward students with ASD compared to students in the first cohort. However, knowledge was not found to be a significant predictor of attitudes and many students who were knowledgeable about ASD still reported negative attitudes toward participating in university and classroom based activities with students with ASD.
