Results: It was determined that the social attitudes of the students towards autism spectrum disorder were negative above the medium level. While gender was found to have no effect on attitudes towards autism spectrum disorder, it was found that students who were under 22 years of age, who did not take courses on autism spectrum disorder, who were studying in the department of nursing and who did not attend a symposium/conference on autism spectrum disorder had more positive attitudes. It was determined that the attitudes of the students working with a child with autism towards social life were more positive, but the social attitudes and knowledge about autism spectrum disorder in general were more negative for the students who did internship with a child with autism or participated in the examination of a child with autism. Conclusion: It was determined that it was necessary to improve the attitudes of students studying in the departments of classroom, special education and preschool teaching.
