Students with autism spectrum disorder: Challenges, and controversies in integration into the university context
Abstract
The academic integration of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in university settings poses complex challenges. This study underscores the importance of addressing these complexities to foster an inclusive and supportive university environment for all students. This documentary-style study describes the epistemological foundations of this disorder and its psychoeducational intervention methodology. It examines the fundamental challen ges, from adapting educational programs to training university staff to meet the specific needs of these students. It highlights controversies surrounding assessment methods, curricular adaptations, and effective social inclusion. It argues that interdisciplinary collaboration, the implementation of personalized support strategies, and increased awareness are crucial to ensuring equal opportunities in higher education. Finally, it is necessary to create conditions in the university context for individuals with high-functioning ASD
