ABSTRACT
This paper reviews how Korean Americans view autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
differently from non-Korean groups. The study was conducted among Korean American
and non-Korean groups to describe their perceptions toward ASD and their thoughts
about resources and treatments. The paper strongly argues there are not available
resources for Korean American communities, although more people are becoming
familiar with the disorder. Culturally informed resources on ASD and treatments are
vital to increase more awareness and also to decrease social stigma that may hinder the
process of receiving appropriate treatments.
