Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) consists of a severe neurodevelopmental disorder wich may present as persistent characteristics loss in reciprocal social communication and social interaction. Sensorineural disorder has been present in approximately 95% of children with ASD. This academic study presents a literature review on the subject, as well as a case study that sought to understand the musical development of a five-year-old boy, male, diagnosed with ASD, level one and with indication of sensory alterations. Data were collected from the application of the DEMUCA scale, added to the observations were made during music classes. We expect these data can contribute to possible strategies that favor the development of musical activities with the expansion of deeper views regarding the environment and the individuality of each child, furthermore to fostering discussions and reflections on inclusion and its relationship with the practice developed from of knowledge about the differences and specificities of people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder in music classes.
