The attitude part in the scale is composed of seven point Likert items by expressing according to the participation of the preservice teacher in the opinions stated. Independent samples Ttest was used to determine whether the attitudes and knowledge levels of the preservice teachers differed significantly from the characteristics of the preservice teachers. The results of the study showed that preservice teachers' attitudes towards children with ASD differed based on their background of taking education on autism.
