Abstract

This chapter reflects on the principles, pedagogical theories and good practices that accompany the combination autism/schooling. Do all children with Autism Spectrum Disorder go to school? What kind of school? Special school or ordinary school? These questions would be answered differently in different countries around the world. Concerning one of the most complex disorders to be diagnosed and addressed, the inclusion of affected students in school is not at all simple. This is partly because the actual application of the law concerning the education of young people with disabilities varies from country to country; thus their resulting education systems can be quite different from one another. Thus, it is not a straightforward process in every country for a family to include their child with autism in a regular school.
