| Abstract | |
This study aimed to describe and analyze how students with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) perceive their academic trajectory in the university context. Six students from a public university in the State of Sao Paulo participated, who declared themselves to have Autism Spectrum Disorders at the time of re-enrollment in the institution's electronic system of graduation. The Social Support Perception Scale (SSPS), the Scale of Autistic Traits (SAT) and a guideline interview were used to collect data. Data extracted with the application of the guideline interview was analyzed qualitatively, according to the core meaning procedure, described by Aguiar and Ozella (2006). Data obtained through the correction of the "Social Support Perception Scale" and the "Scale of Autistic Traits" were analyzed quantitatively. The mean scores obtained with SSPS were 2.1 for practical support and 1.9 for emotional support. The nuclei of significance found through the analysis of the interviews were: 1) Basic school trajectory of students with ASD: educational experiences and difficulties faced by the students; 2) University trajectory of students with ASD: experiences and influencing factors; and 3) Meaning and sense of the university trajectory of students with ASD. It was possible to verify the lack of perception of social support during graduation. The study participants reported mainly aspects related to bullying; unprepared professionals and complications related to the condition of ASD. In addition, difficulties were highlighted regarding teaching and assessment methods proposed during graduation. Finally, although specific solutions were observed in response to the demands of the participants, it was possible to verify that the public university - the focus of the study - still has a lot to do so that the normative prescriptions contained in the recently enacted Brazilian Inclusion Law can be implemented in academic environment.
