Abstract: This study aimed to reflect on the challenges in the school inclusion process of students with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, in relation to teacher training and the school inclusion process. Thus, the research had a bibliographic character and qualitative analysis, based on works by other authors on this topic, selected from research platforms. The results showed that the initial and continuing education of teachers for Inclusive Education has gaps that lead many professionals to report insecurity in pedagogical actions in the classroom. Other difficulties pointed out in the reference studies were related to the elaboration and application of inclusive pedagogical proposals and curricular adaptations, in addition to doubts related to the school evaluation process of the advances obtained by students with ASD. It is concluded that inclusive education has historically evolved from the efforts of pro-inclusion groups and was endorsed by public policies, however, some challenges remain in the areas of teacher training, proposition of inclusive pedagogical practices, curriculum adjustments, constitution of support networks and encourage further research on these themes.
