Looking at the behavior of children with autism, they hurt themselves more, besides that, distrust appears in their souls and will also behave more aggressively than normal children in general. When viewed from the side of character education, character education will be very helpful in terms of giving direction to these children to become more independent individuals and beneficial to others in accordance with the grace that Allah SWT has given, therefore it needs serious direction and guidance because Teaching children who have privileges certainly requires special methods and strategies, therefore this needs to be considered further.
