There was a report examining parental satisfaction about classroom tutors of students with autism. The purpose of this study was to explore possible correlation regarding four dimensions of respondent satisfaction in relation to their demographic information. The survey was designed by the researcher based on parental satisfaction about classroom tutors of students with autism. The survey included parental perception of the degree of understanding exhibited by the classroom tutors pertaining to four autism-focused dimensions: tutors' understanding of the characteristics and special needs of students with autism, their understanding of relevant teaching materials and the relevant teaching methodology, their understanding of the relevant classroom management, and their understanding of the parent-teacher communication about such autism students, plus a section on parental demographic information. Results obtained from 156 completed questionnaires found that parents of autism exhibited these characteristics: (1) positive attitudes toward classroom tutors of students with autism in understanding the characteristics and special needs of such students and likewise positive attitudes toward the special teaching materials and teaching methodology, classroom management, and parent-teacher communication; (2) female parent respondents outnumbered male parent respondents; (3) an average age of parent respondents was 43.2 years of age; most of the parent respondents (69.2%) whose age were 45 or below；(4) The highest percentage of the parent respondents (41.7%) earned bachelor degrees and above; (5) most of the parent respondents (55.1%) had two children; (6) most of the parent respondents belonged to middle-class families (65.4%); (7) parent respondents whose age were 46 or above had significant higher scores than those whose age were 45 or below in tutors' understanding of the characteristics and special needs of students with autism, their understanding of relevant teaching materials and the relevant teaching methodology, their understanding of the relevant classroom management, and their understanding of the parent-teacher communication about such autism students four autism-focused dimensions, and total scores of parental satisfaction scale.
