Abstract
The article indicates the difficulties resulting from autism spectrum disorders and the path of diagnosing a child. An analysis was made of defining neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism, in the classification systems of disorders and health problems. Actions taken in educational institutions for students with ASD are shown. An analysis of the educational system for children on the spectrum and reflections on educating them to achieve optimal independence is presented. The aim was to analyse the needs and capabilities of autistic students, determining the need for changes in the educational system aimed at creating a model that would comprehensively develop all socially desirable competences, considering the multidimensionality and varying intensity of specific behaviours of people with ASD that make it difficult to achieve autonomy in adult life. There is a need to develop social competences, conduct therapy to eliminate undesirable behaviours, and introduce social training in real conditions. An opportunity may be to introduce a new perspective on the individual teaching path, i.e. the possibility of choosing subjects and expanding those in which the student can acquire competences for work. The benefits of new technologies in education and the opportunity to learn from each other are indicated. The need to prepare students with spectrum disorders to take up challenges and adapt to change is emphasised. Autistic students can become skilled workers and achieve independence.
