Introduction: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) involves, in general, neurological alterations that affect social interactions, behavioral development and communication of individuals, which can increase the risk of violence either performed by them or being affected by them. Objective: to analyze the scientific production about the aspects of violence related to people with ASD. Methodology: Integrative review of the literature that searched the database of the Virtual Health Library (VHL), using as descriptors: "autism" and "violence", with the filters "full text", in the languages "Portuguese", "English" and "Spanish", in the 2010-2019 time frame. Results and discussion: Of the 13 articles found, after the use of filters, 02 thematic axes were observed: (I) Aspects of aggression and mistreatment suffered by people with ASD and (II) Aspects about the aggressive behavior of people with ASD. Final Considerations: People with ASD need health promotion programs that involve aspects ranging from the prevention of any type of violence, be it psychological, physical, sexual, neglect or abandonment, as well as the maintenance of skills acquired throughout life, in order to ensure the adoption of approaches that consider these subjects in their sociocultural dimension, but also individual and global.
