Os desafios da inclusão escolar de crianças com autismo nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental

Abstract

In the not-too-distant past, students with autism or other special needs were shunned from everyday school life and the educational process. It's worth remembering that the idea of a social and inclusive education in Brazil is recent and still under construction. And because I believe that there is a long road towards inclusion on the educational horizon, this article aims to understand the inclusion of autistic students in mainstream education, in order to understand the barriers to be overcome and the obstacles faced by teachers. The study is justified by the need to understand the peculiarities and implications that autism has on people's lives. The methodology used to carry out the research was a qualitative approach through a bibliographic survey of the Google Scholar and Scielo databases. At the end of the study, it was possible to observe that the results show how necessary it is to take a careful look at inclusive actions for students with autism and how challenging the teaching-learning process is for educators.
