This study aims to study how the literature addresses the reality and possibilities of the inclusion process of students with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Physical Education classes. To answer this question, the following specific objectives are proposed: to identify historical aspects of inclusion in Brazil, to understand the history, concepts and general aspects of Autistic Spectrum Disorder and its relationship with School Education, these objectives were achieved through the theoretical framework. The methodology of this work consisted of a qualitative research, of bibliographic nature, where the systematic review of literature was developed, through the electronic search in the online database Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO), Portal of Journals of CAPES (Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel) and Google Scholar, using as empirical source scientific articles published in the main journals available online from the descriptors, “Autistic Spectrum Disorder”, “physical education”, “autism” and “inclusive physical education”, from 1994 to the present day. 33 articles were selected that deal with the inclusion theme, of these only 5 articles specifically address the relationship between school Physical Education and autism. In summary, the results show that in reality there is a lack of adequate training, early diagnosis, school structure and working conditions, but when the teacher believes in the possibility of learning from the student, this transforms the process.
