Introduction: Autism is a development disorder with generic designation of Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD) according to the criteria of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-IV). The causes are multiple, which motivates the research in various fields of knowledge. The disorder has its origin in a neurobiological pathogenesis with environmental and genetic causes, or the integration of both. The manifestations are qualitative and quantitative abnormalities that affect the areas of social interaction, communication and behavior. The current literature tends to designate them as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Among the subjects with intellectual disabilities (ID) the reports on the prevalence of ASD are unclear, ranging from 3 to 50%. This heterogeneity shows the need to determine the possible prevalence in each sample. This determination has practical implications in the care and management of these individuals. Objectives: Adapt the cultural inventory of autistic behavior (ICA) created by Marteleto e Pedremônico (2005) to the population of Angola; evaluate the applicability of the scale for students with special educational needs in Angola; estimate the frequency of symptoms of the autistic behavior by some biological and socio-demographic variables in these students. Methods: The cross-cultural and conceptual adaptation of the ICA, the operational semantics and in relation to the cultural context and lifestyle of the target population of the survey. Results and conclusion: The cultural adaptation of the ICA-BR to the ICA-Angola was easily accomplished with a high rate of general equivalence in the prestest, around 80%; the ICA-Angola applied in the target population proved to be feasible with the training of other professionals in the field; the intellectual disabled students in the sample showed high scores in ICA-Angola; it will be necessary to expand the sample and the confirmation of the diagnosis of the Autism Spectrum Disorders to better evaluate the results took into consideration the evaluation of students with disabilities.
