Résumé :	Background Teachers are important resource personnel in a low-middle income country. Understanding teachers’ knowledge on ASD is critical as teachers act as the knowledge broadcasters and the agents of social change and development in a community. Objective This study sought to conduct a grassroots investigation of ASD knowledge and stigma among preschool and primary school teachers in Luang Prabang, a Northern Province in the Lao’s People Democratic Republic (Lao PDR). Method Paper and pen surveys were conducted with teachers recruited from the Provincial Department of Education in Luang Prabang, the Lao PDR. One hundred and eighty teachers participated in the study by completing the Lao language translated version of Autism Stigma and Knowledge Questionnaire (ASK-Q). Results The findings revealed a much lower knowledge level among the Laotian teachers as compared to past ASK-Q findings from other countries, indicating the Lao PDR teachers’ lack of readiness to support young children with ASD in the local schools. Conclusions ASK-Q was shown as instrumental in investigating ASD knowledge and stigma at the grassroots level in the targeted community, in which the findings contributed a clear direction for knowledge transfer and mobilization in a low-middle income country.
