A inserção de crianças com transtorno do espectro autista (tea) no contexto escolar, familiar e social

Abstract

The general objective of this article was to investigate the integration of the child with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in school, family and society. The specific objectives were to inquire about the autistic child's relationship with teachers and classmates, to ask about the relationship of the autistic child with family and caregivers, and to inquire about the relationship of the autistic child with society in general. The methodology included a questionnaire for parents or caregivers regarding their perception towards autistic children about communication difficulties. The main results obtained were that society has little information on how to socially relate to an autistic individual, besides that people often find children with ASD strange or avoid them.
