A descriptive statistical analysis procedure like frequency, percentage and mean of score and standard deviation. In addition an inferential analysis procedure (correlation coefficient and ANOVA) were used to analysis the data. The result shows that there is no significant association between Caregivers (Age Groups, Occupation, Family Type, Marital Status, and Economic situation) and their knowledge concerning autistic child, while there is statistical significant association between Caregivers (level of education) and their knowledge at (pre-test& post-test).The Caregivers knowledge were low about autism spectrum disorder of the beginning of an educational programs of autism. The Caregivers knowledge concerning autistic of their children are increasing at post-test and become high at acceptable knowledge level after the beginning of an educational program.The study recommended providing an educational courses for Caregivers attending the autistic center and providing an educational materials like posters, guidelines, leaflets and brochures in autism centers to educate their mass media condition important especially television for Caregivers to educate their.
