背景资料：国际社会对残疾学生融入主流学校的关注以及自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患病率的增加，促使越来越多的ASD学生进入主流学校。ASD青少年学生的学校参与限制被广泛研究，但较少被称为ASD的小学生所面临的挑战，以及如何在他们的学校教育这些challenges.Methods早期：焦点小组被用来探索的角度与ASD的小学生的学校参与的家长和教育工作者。焦点小组的数据进行了专题分析。结果：四个主题来自数据：（1）不仅仅是在那里;（2）在中间会议;（3）支持的一致性;（4）拥抱差异。结论：本研究的结果强调，6至11岁的学生经历学校参与的限制，由于一系列内在的（例如，自我和学校归属感）和外在因素（例如，学校文化、教育者的知识和技能）。必须在小学早期制定和实施以学校为基础的干预措施，不仅针对学生的技能，而且针对影响学生入学的各种环境因素和障碍。
Background: An international focus on the inclusion of students with disabilities in mainstream schools and the increased prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has contributed to increasing numbers of students with ASD enrolling in mainstream schools. The school participation restrictions of adolescent students with ASD is widely researched, but less is known about the challenges faced by primary school students with ASD and how early in their schooling these challenges arise.Methods: Focus groups were used to explore the perspectives of parents and educators on the school participation of primary school students with ASD. Focus group data were analysed thematically.Results: Four themes were derived from the data: (1) more than just being there; (2) meeting in the middle; (3) consistency of supports; and (4) embrace difference.Conclusions: Findings from this study highlight that students aged between 6 and 11 years experience school participation restrictions due to a range of intrinsic (e.g., sense of self and school belonging) and extrinsic factors (e.g., school culture, educator knowledge and skills). It is imperative school based interventions are developed and implemented in the early primary years, that not only target students' skills, but the range of environmental enablers and barriers impacting student school participation.
