Abstract: One thing to which attention should be paid in the educational world is the fact that it is difficult for the autistic children to understand the surrounding world. The fact that there are so many less innovative learning media is greatly responsible for the development of children especially the autistic ones. Therefore, the writer tried to design the Augmented Reality-Based Learning Medium for Autistic Children, which is expected to be applied as a learning medium. Apart from that, the writer also measured the level of the Usability and Acceptance of the Augmented Reality-based Learning Medium for the Autistic Children. The material prepared was adjusted to the curriculum applied by Yayasan Peduli Autisme Bali. The method used to create the system was the Classic Life Cycle or the Waterfall Model. The usability of the Augmented Reality-Based Learning Medium for the Autistic Children was tested using questionnaire distributed to 10 members of the teaching staff employed by Yayasan Peduli Autisme Bali. The result showed that the perceived usefulness of the Augmented Reality-Based Learning Medium was good. In other words, it was accepted as the learning medium by the teachers of Yayasan Peduli Austisme Bali. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Augmented Reality-Based Learning Medium significantly supported the respondents in the learning process involving the autistic children
