Abstract
perhaps one of the most frequent and least understood symptoms in people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is auditory hypersensitivity. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the impact of excessive noise at school and the autistic community. The ethnographic research was applied, given that it best describes the community and its way of life. According to the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT) the noise limit inside the classroom is 40 to 50 decibels. However, in this study, the noise reached an average of 80 decibels, mainly in rooms with more than 25 students. In addition, the noise in the courtyard, at recess, reached more than 100 decibels. The bearable limit for the human ear is 65 decibels, according to the World Health Organization.
