  ABSTRACT: Although a large number of studies have focused on inclusive education in developed countries, there are few research on developing countries, especially China. Therefore, this paper mainly discusses whether autistic children in China should be educated separately from ordinary students. The thesis is mainly composed of three parts. Firstly, it introduces the definition of disability, inclusive education and its background in China. Secondly, the advantages and challenges of inclusive education in China are discussed through cases. It concluded that children with autism should be educated together with ordinary students to promote educational equality and help autistic children integrate into society. However, parents’ attitudes and the limitations of teachers’ knowledge in mainstream schools are the great challenges facing inclusive education in China.
