Abstract

The theme proposed in this work sought to analyze aspects of the inclusion of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder in integrated high school, specifically in the discipline of Chemistry. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a behavioral disorder that is characterized by significant changes in the child's communication, social interaction and behavior, which may manifest together or in isolation. The research carried out is characterized as a case study, of a quantitative nature, being carried out in a public school of the municipal network of the city of Parnaíba-PÍ. This study presents the results of investigations on the art of teaching in correlation with the learning of autistic students in regular classrooms that have vocational education. The research was carried out with the teachers (A, B and C) of the school field of research through a questionnaire and interview, as well as observations in the classroom aiming at a more detailed and more effective analysis of the inclusion process investigated. From the analysis of data collected by instruments such as questionnaires and observations. It was possible to verify the teacher's experience in classes with autistic students and the difficulties observed from the performance presented by these students being in regular high school professional classrooms in the discipline of Chemistry, was achieved in a promising way. However, there are many gaps to be filled in relation to the school structure, professional qualification and inclusive methodologies so that students can have a better performance in Chemistry classes. It was also concluded that the support of the family, the school and the teachers makes a difference to the full and autonomous development of the student with ASD.
