About 1 in 59 children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) according to estimates from CDC's report in 2018 (BAIO et al., 2018), which suggest that it is an issue in public health. The present paper aimed the presentantion of a current panorama on psychologists’ formal education regarding the ASD. Thus, we analyze the curricula of psychology courses in the state of Minas Gerais/Brazil. The documents examined were collected via e-mail, institutional websites, and social networks in 2016. We grouped the disciplines into the 5 major areas of psychology: inclusive education and education, human development, psychological assessment, psychopathology, and behavioral analysis. In a group of 44 institutions that made their curricular matrices available, there were 530 disciplines with potential to approach the subject. This study offers elements that confirm a fragility on formal education in psychology to approach a problem that faces an increasing demand in the social and health contexts.
