Abstract

The main objective of this study was to verify the rights of people with disabilities in the State of Amazonas, specifically analyzing the areas covered by the Enacted Law 241/2015, which seeks to make the environment more inclusive for these individuals, and to investigate its correlation with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The methodology adopted consisted of a qualitative analysis based on legal documents and scientific texts relevant to the environment and autism. The provisions of the aforementioned state law were analyzed and its implications for people with disabilities, including those with ASD, in the environmental context of the State of Amazonas were examined. The study showed that the legal provision, by covering a wide range of areas in civil life, plays a satisfactory role in promoting the inclusion of people with disabilities in the State of Amazonas. Its comprehensive approach reflects a significant commitment to equality and accessibility, providing a strong foundation for fostering a more inclusive and accessible environment for all citizens.
