However, we were unable to locate any published studies that examined knowledge about autism among graduate students in francophone sub-Saharan Africa. Thus, the goal of this study was to describe knowledge about autism among 254 graduate psychology, medical, and education students in Togo. Results suggested that only 5% of graduate students had good knowledge about autism. Although graduate psychology students achieved higher scores than others, all subgroups had inadequate knowledge about specific characteristics of autism. The findings highlight the necessity of passing public policies to promote autism research and training in local universities in Togo.
