The paper’s objective is to present an overview of the school inclusion of Autism Spectrum Disorder in Youth and Adult Education in Brazil. Autism is a general condition of brain development disorders; the spectrum involves many different situations from each other, where these characteristics can range from the mildest to the most severe or be related to a lesser or greater degree to each other. The autistic person is considered disabled for all legal purposes according to Law No. 12.764/2012, which institutes the National Policy for the Protection of the Rights of the Person with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and inclusion is a right of the person with a disability. Although there is still a lot of prejudice and unpreparedness on education professionals, people with disabilities are also entitled to attend a school with regular education. The panorama shows us that teachers are unprepared for this reality and without the support of a multidisciplinary team to develop their work.
