Autism is a developmental disorder that manifests itself with symptoms such as insufficiency in social communication, inability to show emotional reactions, repeated obsessive behaviors. Symptoms of autism appear in the first years of life. This situation can be considered as an advantage in terms of the possibility for children diagnosed with autism to begin their education in early age. The education of diagnosed autism individuals is continued in private educational schools, if necessary, through coaching. The education of autisms, religion and morality has been a topic of discussion. Despite the studies that autisms can’t understand religious concepts and facts, there are also positive findings. Studies that include similar contradictions in moral and values education are also found. Although there is no scientific research on religious and moral education in autism in our country, in 2010, the DKAB course has brought the issue of obligatory participation of autism individuals in the educational programs. From here, in this study, referring to the discussions on the possibility of religious and moral education in autisms, the subject of contradictory opinions was opened to the opinions of teachers who are family-effective individuals in autisms education. The work group of the research with the semi-structured conversation technique is made up of 30 special training and 6 DKAB teachers who are working in the private educational schools located in the central districts of Konya (Karatay, Meram, Selçuklu) and in the middle schools with a class of autism. The study found that the teachers involved in the study were in different opinions on the possibility of religious and moral education in autisms, but in a number of subjects that are subject to religious and moral themes, they had an unity in the point where autisms need a education. It is believed that the study will contribute to the discussions in literature, the direction of the teachers' views and experiences participating.
