許多研究調查顯示自閉症學生的學校適應欠佳，主要有學習適應、情緒行為問題和社會互動。作者運用生態系統理論的概念，建議學校為自閉症學生建構一個完整的支持體系，包括：學業課程、教材的調整，普特教師之間的合作，以及建立尊重差異的校園文化等，以提升自閉症學生在學校裡的適應情形。

Many research results indicate that students with autism lack adapt ability to school life. They have difficulties in learning, emotional behavior, and social skills. For the sake of improving autistic students' adaptability, it is suggested that, schools design an ecological supporting system. Such a system would include modification of curricula and teaching materials, along with enhancement of collaboration between general education and special education teachers. The intent of an ecological system is to build up a culture of respecting diversity.
