ANALYSES AND PERCEPTIONS OF THE INCLUSION PROCESS OF AUTISTIC STUDENTS IN 'TRADITIONAL' CLASSROOMS

This research follows a qualitative approach as it aims to gain an in-depth understanding of the research subject and does not focus on statistical representation but rather on capturing information present in the texts used in the study. Qualitative research highlights the socially constructed nature of reality, the relationship between the researcher and the subject of study, and the situational limitations that influence the investigation (Denzin & Lincoln, 2006).
The research methodology chosen for this study is descriptive, as emphasized by Godoy (1995), with writing playing a pivotal role in this approach. The study is primarily based on bibliographical works.
We began by presenting autism, how it can be diagnosed, and possible treatments. Subsequently, we explored whether autistic students can be included in regular schools, according to the chosen authors.
