Os desafios do indivíduo autista no ambiente escolar: uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder is characterized as a neurodevelopmental disorder. Nowadays, the number of children diagnosed with this disorder has increased and they are increasingly present in educational environments. The current dynamics of education, multifaceted and complex, require systematic and evolved reviews in the teaching-learning process. In this context, the topic involving autism is one of the most socially and academically relevant issues. Having said that, the present work sought to analyze the nuances of the teaching and learning process of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder in the regular education network. This is a research that consisted of a narrative review of the literature, carried out through searches on Google Scholar and the Scielo database from 2000 to the present. The descriptors used were "inclusive education", "autism", "regular education network" and "special education". The selection for analysis included only articles that addressed historical, cultural and social data related to the inclusive education of autistic students, as well as those that dealt with the inclusion of individuals with autism in the regular national education network. Review works, international contexts and higher education topics were excluded. After this selection, the articles were subjected to a thorough reading and analysis, followed by inferences and discussions on the topic investigated. Educating autistic children is challenging due to the diverse individual needs they present. Each autistic student is unique, requiring a curriculum adapted to meet their particularities. Therefore, it is the responsibility of education to overcome and deal with these challenges, ensuring the effective inclusion of all students.
