鉴于自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的患病率日益增加及其造成的公共卫生问题;需要早期识别和干预以改善ASD的预后。因此，本研究调查了可能与自闭症儿童早期接触的不同人群，为早期发现和有效诊断和干预提供了知情的基础。研究对象为重庆市长寿区和巫山县的三组人群：269名医务工作者、181名教育工作者和188名社区居民。采用自编问卷调查他们对孤独症的理解和知识。积极的发现是，三组对自闭症都有一定的认识，但对核心问题存在一定的误解，三组对自闭症的认识存在显著差异。年轻的医务工作者比年长的医务工作者更了解自闭症。教育工作者和社区居民识别自闭症症状的能力与他们的教育水平和他们与自闭症儿童的经验呈正相关。电视和互联网是参与者获得自闭症信息的主要来源。西部地区的医务工作者、教育工作者和社区居民能够识别自闭症的早期症状，但对自闭症的认识不足。在远离城市的地区，要加强对医务工作者的初级卫生保健培训，在教育机构和社区推广自闭症筛查和转诊。利用互联网技术在偏远地区提供自闭症的公共教育和专业培训，在中国西部可能是一个非常有前途的方法。
Given the increasing prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the public health problems it creates; early identification and interventions are needed to improve the prognosis of ASD. Hence, this study surveyed different groups of people who are likely to have early contact with autistic children to provide an informed basis for early detection and effective diagnosis and interventions. Three groups of people were recruited for the study from Changshou District and Wushan County of Chongqing, in Western China: 269 medical workers, 181 educators, and 188 community residents. Their understanding and knowledge of autism was measured using a self-made questionnaire. The positive finding was that the three groups had a certain level of understanding of autism, but they had some misunderstandings of the core problems, and there were significant differences in the understanding of autism among the three groups. Younger medical workers knew more about autism than older ones did. The ability of educators and community residents to identify autistic symptoms was positively related to their level of education and their experience with autistic children. Television and the internet were the main sources of information about autism for participants. The medical workers, educators, and community residents in the investigated areas in western China may be able to identify early signs of autism but have an inadequate understanding of autism. In areas far from cities, it is necessary to strengthen the training of medical workers in primary health care to promote autism screening and referral in educational institutions and communities. Using internet technology to provide public education and professional training about autism in remote areas could be a very promising method in Western China.
