The article analyzes the process of psychological and pedagogical support for children with autism in a special (remedial) secondary general school. The study focuses on the problem of providing psychological and pedagogical assistance to special children aimed at development of their life competencies. We provide a brief description of the substantial components of the support model for ASD children in school environment, where they study together with children having other developmental disorders. The arti- cle presents the results of the study of sensory, cognitive and social functional systems in children with autistic spectrum disorders and the typology of children with ASD based on the current findings. We have concluded that there is a need for the individual ap- proach to teaching each child with autism, which should include a high-quality diagnos- tic stage with use of special assessment techniques, as well as the development of an in- dividual educational program aimed at increasing the level of social adaptation, master- ing essential life skills.
