Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This research aims to determine the perception of university students regarding autism within the student population of a private university in the city of Encarnación. The idea emerged in 2023 from the interest of a group of final-year students in the Psychopedagogy program who, upon delving into the particularities of autism, such as communication difficulties, restricted interests, and challenges in social interaction, decided to develop this study. The methodology used in this work is quantitative and exploratory in nature, serving as an important initial approach to understanding the magnitude of the issue, and thus opening the doors for further research. The survey was the data collection instrument, administered to university students who completed Google Forms. The results indicate that the majority of respondents know someone with autism and have a basic understanding of some of the characteristics of autism, such as sensory sensitivity and certain behavioral difficulties.
