Children 's attitudes and behavioral intentions toward a peer with autistic behaviors : does a brief educational intervention have an effect ? This study examined children 's ratings of attitudes and behavioral intentions toward a peer presented with or without autistic behaviors . The impact of information about autism on these ratings was investigated as well as age and gender effects . Third- and sixth-grade children ( N = 233 ) were randomly assigned to view a video of the same boy in one of three conditions : No Autism , Autism , or Autism/Information . Children at both grade levels showed less positive attitudes toward the child in the two autism conditions . In rating their own behavioral intentions , children showed no differences between conditions . However , in attributing intentions to their classmates , older children and girls gave lower ratings to the child in the autism conditions . Information about autism did not affect ratings of either attitudes or behavioral intentions as ascribed to self or others .
