Uniwersytet przyjazny osobom z autyzmem - dobre praktyki w Dublin City University
Autism Friendly University - reflections from a visit to Dublin City University

Summary/Abstract: This article is about the situation of people with the autism in higher education environment and the ways in which a university can effectively support such learners in their studies. It was inspired by a study visit to Dublin City University – the first Autism Friendly University in Ireland and in the world. The main postulate of the article is that the presence of people with the autism spectrum creates new challenges for universities, and that the traditional model of supporting them is no longer sufficient. Creating an academic ecosystem in which persons with different functioning profiles are able to find their place and develop their potential requires a synergy of several elements: accommodation of the teaching process, innovative ways of support that take into account the student's well-being, modification of the infrastructure, and awareness and openness of the whole academic community to the needs of persons with the autism spectrum.
