The purpose of this research work was the study and investigation the perceptions of general education teachers in Greek primary education regarding the inclusion of children with autism spectrum disorder in the general school context, as well as their knowledge about this disorder. A total of 60 general education teachers participated in the survey. The research tool used was the questionnaire and knowledge were measured by closed-ended questions, which would have a 5-point Likert format (1 = "agree" to 5 = "disagree"). In the present research: (1) teachers' perceptions of inclusive education for autistic children in general education classes were studied; and (2) the relationships between individual and demographic teacher characteristics. and their perceptions of inclusion. An important finding of the statistical analysis of the results was that teachers were generally found to have a relatively moderate level of knowledge, as assessed by a 48-question questionnaire. In addition, it was found that gender, educational level, and participation in autism education programs did not appear to significantly influence teachers' scores on this questionnaire.
