Keywords:
Autism Spectrum, School InclusionAbstract
The text addresses the evolution of the concept of autism, from its introduction by Eugen Bleuler in 1911 to the consolidation of the term "autism spectrum", highlighting the contributions of Leo Kanner and Hans Asperger. It explores the characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), such as communication deficits and repetitive behaviors, and its classification into three levels of support. It emphasizes the importance of school and social inclusion, as seen in legislation such as Law No. 12,764/2012, but highlights the lack of preparation among schools and teachers to serve students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The research carried out with caregivers and teachers reveals demands for teacher training and multidisciplinary teams. It concludes that school is essential for inclusion but needs significant improvements to ensure effective education.
