The no running, the ladder and the suspension! The path taken by a student with Autism Spectrum Disorder in the common school

Abstract

This study investigates the inclusive process of a student with Autism Spectrum Disorder. It aims to understand the meanings that the student attributes to the way he/she experiences his schooling processes. The research is based theoretically and methodologically on the historical-cultural perspective of human development and is based on biographical studies by bringing the narrative to the production of empirical work. The data were constructed in a municipal public school in a medium-sized city in the interior of the state of São Paulo, during the 2019 school year. The results point to the need for an educational change that promotes to this student opportunities not only to be in the social environment, but to act in it, as protagonists, as subjects capable of learning and developing.
