Abstract
This report examines how an autistic child and normally developed children, who had been brought up together in an integration nursery, interacted each other for following six years in a regular elementary school. Some of the normally developed children played an important role to help the autistic child to adapt himself to the regular elementary school; for instance, they helped the autistic child to make new friends, and to get himself involved in the new environment (, which was not fully integrated.) With these examples, this six-years long survey makes clear that the integration nursery based on the concept of normalization enables the autistic child and the normally developed children to establish closer relationships after they get into the next step of education.
