Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder with clinical diversity and heterogeneous etiology. The main clinical features are language problems, social communication disorders, and stereotyped behaviors. With the development of society and economy, more and more autistic children can study in regular classes because of early intervention, receiving common compulsory education and the rehabilitation of education intervention at this stage. It means that more and more autistic teenagers will receive higher education in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct effective teaching design in the integrated classroom of higher education and propose teaching and learning models suitable for the personality characteristics of autistic college students so as to stimulate their learning interest and potentials and help them to establish self-confidence, thus encouraging them to actively participate in communication, and ensuring them to complete degree courses, which will improve the effectiveness of education intervention rehabilitation to a certain degree. This article uses the degree-based course “Linear Algebra” as an example to discuss and summarize the practice of integrated classrooms with autistic students in Nanjing Normal University of Special Education, trying to explore the teaching and learning model suitable for the personality characteristics of autistic students.
