This paper presents ten scholarly articles in English grouped into three categories: the impact of early inclusion on children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the importance of play development and parents' experiences and attitudes about the process of inclusion and the prejudices they have encountered. Inclusive programs in early childhood and preschool programs have proven to be very successful and important for children's development compared to conventional public programs where the results at the end of the school year were more likely to either stagnate or decrease. The application of play rehabilitation, therapy aimed at enabling the child to develop in a natural way, as much as possible, has contributed to an increase in the attention and interest of children with ASD for certain individual or group activities thus significantly facilitating further work with them. In addition to the importance of play, one of the selected articles mentions the development of symbolic play using the 'scaffolding' technique, which was successfully applied by mothers of children with ASD and which contributed to their development. Parents, understanding the importance of early intervention, felt disappointed because of the lack of support they should have been provided by early childhood and preschool institutions. They generally believe that their children are stigmatized, that they find it very difficult to make friends, and that they are not involved in the activities with their peers. They feel that because of long waiting lists they do not have much choice when it comes to finding an appropriate early intervention program for their child. Many parents also struggle with accepting the fact that their child is ‘different’. Some, when they first learned of the diagnosis, experienced high anxiety, but they believed that their child would become ‘normal’ over time and that the child may have been misdiagnosed. However, after accepting the child’s difficulty as something they could not change, their level of anxiety decreased. Most articles point out the positive impact of inclusion on children with ASD, and play is emphasized as an indispensable part of their childhood. The importance of communication and cooperation between educators and the professional team with parents of children with special educational needs is also highlighted.
