Abstract
Lay abstract: The Autism Stigma and Knowledge Questionnaire (ASK-Q) was developed to assess autism knowledge across cultural contexts. The current study aimed to examine cultural equivalence of the measure using a large, international database. These analyses identified 18 items in need of examination for removal or revision. A team of autism experts recommended several additional changes to reduce stigma and increase cross-cultural sensitivity and accuracy of the items on the measure. These changes resulted in a briefer measure with maintained statistical support.
