    Studies show there is a relationship between the lack of information and awareness about ASD and the response to it, while informed participants have a positive reaction to it, those who are not as well-informed have a more negative reaction to it. This study is to examine if a correlation exists between misinformation of ASD and the positive or negative reaction to it. Using an online survey, we will evaluate if those who do worse in the theoretical part will also have a negative point of view when it comes to it.

These factors, coupled with the different experiences that caregivers have had in the referral and diagnostic process, have all contributed to better informed clinical work (Huerta and Lord, 2012).…

In the other hand, they learned to understand each other better, to cope and unanimously decided to stay together as a couple to commit to one another and to their child 's condition.
