The findings of this study demonstrate the significant potential of YouTube as an educational tool to raise ASD awareness, but also highlight the need for a collaborative approach between content creators, healthcare providers, educators, and policymakers to ensure that the information made available is reliable, accurate, and of high quality. Therefore, we recommend the development of specific guidelines for content creators and the implementation of verification mechanisms for YouTube channels run by subject matter experts.
