This study aims to provide education on first aid for autism (P3A) to the community, particularly to parents of children with autism. The method used was in-person outreach in Padang City, involving 26 participants from parents and professionals. The materials presented included dietary selection and daily menu management for children with autism. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests to evaluate the participants' knowledge improvement. The results showed a significant increase in participants' scores after attending the P3A outreach and education. Before the outreach, the average score was 15.69 (min 12.00, max 21.00), indicating a low initial ability. After the outreach, the average score rose to 87.65 (min 78.00, max 97.00), reflecting the program's positive impact. These findings indicate that the outreach activities enhanced participants' knowledge and emphasized the importance of public understanding of P3A. The results conclude that P3A outreach effectively improves community knowledge and enables parents to implement appropriate measures for their children. This initiative should be continued consistently across various regions in Indonesia to broaden understanding of autism management through P3A
