The issue of this investigation was whether ethnic background influences parents and the behavioral manifestations of autism. The purpose of this study was to survey professionals' perceptions of the differences in parental attitudes and behaviors and the behavioral manifestations of autism in Chinese and Caucasian children. A survey was mailed to 250 professionals in California and New York. Thirty professionals participated. The major findings were: (1) Most professionals did not perceive a difference between Chinese and Caucasian autistic children in the basic skills. Among those that noted diversity, Chinese children were perceived as better at receptive and nonverbal communication and were more severely impaired in expressive communication, self-care, and socialization. (2) Most professionals did not perceive a difference between Chinese and Caucasian autistic children in the behaviors manifested. Among those that cited dissimilarity, Chinese children were less physically active, emotionally reactive, affectionate, self-abusive, aggressive and disruptive/resistive and they engaged in less eye contact and self-stimulatory behaviors. (3) Most professionals perceived a difference between Chinese and Caucasian parents of autistic children in coping with their child's disability. Chinese parents were worse at accepting the disability, managing behaviors, seeking help, and parent involvement. (4) Most professionals perceived a difference between Chinese and Caucasian parents of autistic children in their child-rearing practices. Chinese parents fostered more dependency, passive activity, strict discipline, and child isolation. Furthermore, they encouraged less verbalization and engaged in fewer public displays of affection. (5) Most professionals did not perceive a difference between Chinese and Caucasian parents of autistic children in the importance of causes of autism. Among those that noted dissimilarity, Chinese parents placed more importance on moralistic, spiritualistic and superstitious beliefs. (6) Most professionals perceived a difference between Chinese and Caucasian parents of autistic children in the importance of seven problems: excess time demands, overprotection, communicating with professionals, understanding the system, family loss of status, family shame, and family isolation. These findings were consistent with the literature. The differences were discussed in terms of child-rearing practices and cultural values. In addition, case studies and problems with studying the Chinese were presented.
