This research aimed to analyze the insertion of Brazilian psychology into the context of school inclusion of people with autism spectrum disorder. To this end, an integrative review was carried out in two stages: (1) mapping of publications on ASD in different areas of psychology; (2) analysis of the approaches and modes of action adopted to promote the inclusion of autistic people in school. The review considered articles published in the SciELO, BVS-Psi and PePsic databases, in Portuguese and English, between 2013 and 2023. The searches were carried out using the Boolean descriptors and operators psychology AND autism. The results point to three perspectives and modes of action in promoting school inclusion for autistic people: adaptation and adjustment through training, inclusion and development mediated by interactions with adults, and emergence of uniqueness resulting from the deconstruction of normalizing and pathologizing practices.
