Item Estrategia didáctica para la enseñanza de ciencias básicas a estudiantes de pregrado con diversidad funcional del espectro autista(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Centro de Posgrados, 2022-12) Valle Ocando, Ana Karina Md.; Villacís Valencia, Sandra Dra. Esp.The Autistic Spectrum, currently considered an "invisible disability", persists as an underestimated, ignored condition plagued by stereotypes, a consequence of ignorance. Regarding the academic field, people on the Autistic Spectrum have a different way of learning than neurotypical people, considering peculiarities of both the condition and the person's own, but these educational needs are ignored, affecting the Teaching learning process. Indeed, there is very little information regarding the development and performance of autistic people in formal education, focusing mainly on the basic and middle levels, and leaving aside autistic students at higher or university levels. In Ecuador there are not even reliable statistical records of how many autistic people start, stay and finish higher education and especially Medical University or Medicine Career, a situation that prevents formulating educational policies and making the necessary adjustments for the academic success of this group of people. Given this scenario, in this qualitative study, an interview was conducted with two key participants to obtain information from a direct and reliable source on the problems that autistic people experienced and experience during their university studies, whose valuable contributions were taken as a reference for to be able to develop the final product that is the "Didactic Strategy for the teaching of Basic Biomedical Sciences to undergraduate students with functional diversity of the Autistic Spectrum"
