Abstract. Involving children with autism spectrum disorders in education and ensuring their more ef­fective results in this process is one of the important issues facing the modern educational process, its various approaches, as well as education and social psychology. Statistical calculations by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that one in every 36 children suffers from some form of autism spectrum disorder. The figure per 100,000 people in the world's population is 788.3 people. This once again emphasizes that the problem is quite serious and urgent. Involving these children in education and taking them into account in inclusive education programs makes modern pedagogy and psychology think more and leads to the need for research. This article analyzes the development of the existing problem in local and in­ternational literature and presents comparative descriptions.
