Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Autism is a significant concern because of the increase in the prevalence of the disorder. University healthcare students might not all be adequately prepared to serve autistic individuals. Hence, there is a need in the South African context for information on healthcare practitioners\' knowledge of general aspects, diagnosis and management of autism.
UNASSIGNED: To determine current knowledge on autism among speech-language pathology and audiology (SLP & A) students at a South African Higher Education Institution.
UNASSIGNED: The study was conducted among 65 second, third and fourth year students at the SLP & A Department of a South African Higher Education Institution.
UNASSIGNED: A descriptive quantitative design utilising an online questionnaire was used to gather the quantitative and, to a lesser extent, qualitative data. Descriptive measures were used to analyse and summarise the data.
UNASSIGNED: Participants mainly understood autism\'s fundamental symptoms and comorbidities, early intervention, team management and speech-language therapist (SLT) duties. Students were found to have little awareness of autism\'s prevalence, causes, diagnosing experts, intervention methods and treatment. Participants felt uncomfortable treating autistic people owing to a lack of clinical exposure. Participants want further training.
UNASSIGNED: Students reported the need for additional training on autism, including its identification, diagnosis, assessment and treatment. It is recommended that the study be replicated at other institutions to impact other curricula.
UNASSIGNED: This research article provides input for enhancing the curriculum for Health Science Departments in Higher Education Institutions.

摘要：
■自闭症是一个重要的问题，因为该疾病的患病率增加。大学医疗保健学生可能并不都为自闭症患者做好充分的准备。因此，在南非的背景下，需要关于医疗保健从业人员的一般方面的知识的信息，自闭症的诊断和管理。
■确定南非高等教育机构的语言病理学和听力学（SLP＆A）学生对自闭症的最新知识。
■这项研究是在65秒之间进行的，南非高等教育机构SLP＆A部门的三年级和四年级学生。
■使用描述性定量设计，利用在线问卷收集定量信息，在较小程度上，定性数据。使用描述性措施来分析和总结数据。
■参与者主要了解自闭症的基本症状和合并症，早期干预,团队管理和语言治疗师(SLT)职责。发现学生对自闭症的患病率知之甚少，原因,诊断专家,干预方法和治疗。由于缺乏临床接触，参与者对自闭症患者感到不舒服。参与者需要进一步的培训。
■学生报告说需要对自闭症进行额外的培训，包括它的身份，诊断,评估和治疗。建议在其他机构推广这项研究，以影响其他课程。
■本研究文章为加强高等教育机构卫生科学部门的课程提供了投入。
