目前的研究扩展了斯通的研究[自闭症的跨学科视角？儿科心理学杂志，12，(1988)615；教师和家长对自闭症的看法比较。《自闭症与发育障碍杂志》，18，(1988)403]探索多个卫生保健职业中关于自闭症的知识和信念。111名CARD人员(即自闭症相关残疾中心的专业人员)、专家(即精神病学、言语和语言病理学以及临床心理学)和初级保健提供者(即家庭医生、儿科和神经科)完成了一项评估自闭症诊断标准、病程、治疗和预后的知识的措施。结果表明，所有三组都反映了对DSM-IV标准的准确认可。初级卫生保健提供者和专家发现，与CARD相比，初级卫生保健提供者和专家不同地认可关于预后、病程和治疗的各种陈述。总体而言，初级服务提供商表现出的差异最大。文中还讨论了临床意义和未来的建议。
The current study extends research by Stone [Cross-disciplinary perspectives on autism? Journal of Pediatric Psychology, 12, ( 1988) 615; A comparison of teacher and parent views of autism. Journal of Autism and Development Disorders, 18, ( 1988) 403] exploring the knowledge and beliefs about autism across multiple health care professions. One hundred and eleven CARD personnel (i.e., professional with the Center for Autism Related Disabilities, CARD), specialists (i.e., psychiatry, speech and language pathology, and clinical psychology), and primary health care providers (i.e., family practice, pediatrics, and neurology) completed a measure assessing knowledge of diagnostic criteria, course, treatment, and prognosis of autism. Results indicated that all three groups reflected accurate endorsement of the DSM-IV criteria. Primary health care providers and specialists were found to differentially endorse a variety of statements regarding prognosis, course, and treatment in comparison with CARD. Overall, primary providers demonstrated the greatest number of differences. Clinical implications and future recommendations are discussed.
