Abstract

Although misconceptions associated with ASD are apparent worldwide, they may differ across cultures. This study compares knowledge and stigma associated with ASD in a country with limited autism resources, Lebanon, and a country with substantial autism resources, the United States (US). College students in the US (N = 346) and Lebanon (N = 329) completed assessments of knowledge and stigma associated with ASD before and after an online ASD training. Although students in the US exhibited higher overall knowledge and lower stigma towards ASD, certain misconceptions were more apparent in the US than in Lebanon. Participation in the training was associated with decreased stigma and increased knowledge in both countries. Thus, online training may be useful for increasing understanding about ASD internationally.

In the full non-age-matched sample, US students more often reported having a friend with ASD compared to Lebanese students, p = .001.

All statistical analyses were tested for assumptions. The following variables did not meet the proportional odds assumption of ordinal regression: importance of helping people with autism appear more normal, children with autism show attachment, and children with autism can grow up to go to college and marry. However, this assumption is violated fairly frequently (Long and Freese 2006) and similar patterns of significance were observed with non-parametric analyses.

This finding was also not significant (p = .04) in the larger sample that was not age-matched.

In the full-sample, Lebanese students were also less likely to agree that ASD is a lifelong disability, p < .001.
