Abstract

Autistic Spectrum Disorder, popularly known as autism, is considered a neurological development disorder, which affects one in every 200 individuals. Physical Education is very important for society and has been present in human life since antiquity. Therefore, we believe that it is of great importance to carry out research that addresses this issue, as these can promote improvements in the quality of life of this public. The present study aims to analyze how the theme of autism is portrayed in the journal Revista Movimento from 2001 to 2021. As specific objectives, we sought to identify the main characteristics of autism; observe the existing public policies related to Inclusive Education; in addition to performing a bibliometric analysis on how the topic of autism is treated in the journal Movimento. The methodology used is a documentary, exploratory, descriptive, quantitative and qualitative research. In addition, the content analysis analysis technique associated with bibliometric analysis through the use of Lotka, Bradford and Zipf laws was used. We observed that this topic ends up being little discussed and that in the publications analyzed the authors emphasize how the strategies used by them influence the development of the autistic child. This analysis allowed us to verify that all the works analyzed made reference to the importance of the teacher's role. in working with autistic children. We emphasize that they must increasingly seek strategies that can facilitate this process of inclusion.
