Abstract: Introduction: This article provides an approach to the challenges faced by nursing professionals in the process of including girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in schools. Girls with ASD are identified as individuals whose development is affected by impairments in the areas of communication, social interaction, and behavior. They have greater difficulty in detecting the disorder than boys, which reflects the importance of nurses due to their technical and scientific training in health. General objective: To describe the challenges faced by nurses in the process of including girls with ASD in schools. Method: This is an integrative literature review based on scientific articles from the last five years. Results: The studies reviewed demonstrated the extensive role played by nurses in the process of including girls with ASD in schools, contributing to the optimization of their school development and performing their practice with resolution, ethics, and monitoring of chronic situations. Discussion: The nurse in the school environment stands out for ensuring health care for students, intervening with strategies in order to improve the skills of children with ASD. Their challenges mainly include specific training on this disorder. Conclusion: The nurse is essential for children with ASD in the school environment, since the inclusion process requires humanization and a holistic approach, as well as the promotion of comprehensive care. The challenges observed include: limited knowledge of ASD, specific training on mental health, little experience in the school environment, and greater support for family members.
