Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, labor markets, not only in Poland but also around the world, are undergoing constant transformation. The transitions taking place in this regard depend on many factors. In addition to demographic changes, one of them is changes in the attitudes toward labor force participation of people with various disabilities, including those on the autism spectrum. The emerging trends outline a process of positive changes. In the last ten years, an increase in the employment rates of people with disabilities can be observed as in 2019 compared to 2018, they increased by 0.6 percentage points to 26.8%. Furthermore, the results of the Badanie Aktywności Ekonomicznej Ludności (BAEL, meaning Labor Force Survey) showed that the labor force participation rate of working-age people with disabilities increased by 0.5 percentage points in 2019 compared to the previous year, being an increase of 2.9 percentage points compared to 2015
