To achieve the purposes of the study, an autism spectrum disorder scale was developed, it consists of 17 items, and its psychometric characteristics were approved.

The study results indicated that the field training students' level of knowledge about autism spectrum disorder was mid, and there were no statistically significant differences in the level of knowledge about autism spectrum disorder attributed to cumulative average, sex, and university.
