INCLUSION OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISTIC IN SCHOOL: A NARRATIVE REVIEW

Abstract

Since 2013, the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is understood as the disorder that embraces the set of other conditions such as Asperger Syndrome, Autistic Disorder, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (Heller's Syndrome), Rett's Disorder and Atypical Autism. Knowing the need for integration and the school challenges, the present study shows the importance of inserting autistic children in everyday classes of the regular school network, demonstrating how this insertion might possibly be done, through the contact of children with and without the disorder, highlighting the benefits of exchanging experiences and cooperating with each other. Therefore, aspects of autistic types and degrees are also briefly reviewed since it is known to be challenging for any individuals involved during this process: the difficulty of social interaction, eye contact and often social isolation on the part of the autistic plus stereotyped behaviors, prejudiced and bullying practices of classmates reflect in a prism of complexity that can result in fear and refusal on the part of parents when considering education of their children in the school environment.
