ASD is considered a neurodevelopmental disorder that can include impairment in social interection and comunnication, in addition to presenting repetitive behaviors and restricted interests. Over the years, the inclusion of individuals with ASD in universities has increased, dua to legal initiatives and student support, in addition to greater awareness, recognition and the number of diagnoses. The work is a bibliographic review, where the university experience of students with ASD was anlyzed and the importance of actions aimed at the support and permanence of this population at the university. The specificities of the individuals within the spectrum make evident the need for support and strategies that provide inclusion in the academic social environment, in order to improve their social involvement and quality of life.
