Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a condition that has different degrees of alteration for each individual. Knowledge of this condition by educational personnel can expand the learning possibilities of people with ASD. This research investigates how to include first grade children with ASD in the city of Puebla, Mexico, through transformational leadership strategies. An analysis of leadership cases at the international and local levels was carried out and a descriptive methodology with action-research was adopted. Two tools were designed: an interview with a non-profit organization that works with children on the autism spectrum and a questionnaire for educational personnel who work with children at the first grade level. In the end, the result of this research generated a guide document based on the aforementioned methodology.
