Abstract
Autism is a spectrum disorder (abbreviated ASD – autism spectrum disorder), which encompasses a variety of developmental challenges in communication, thinking, cognitive skills, interests, and forms of activity, as well as motor skills. Ensuring that people with autism spectrum disorder realise their right to work seems to be a problem in Poland, contributing to their discrimination. The aim of the paper is to present the issue of employment of adults on the autism spectrum in Poland as a member state of the European Union in the light of the international standard. The article discusses the objective and subjective approach to adults with ASD in Poland, the legal conditions of their employment (including international law), as well as the results of empirical research and conclusions in this respect.
期刊介绍:
The Journal aims to explore the implications of various traditions of international law, as well as more current perceived hegemonic trends for the idea of an international community. The Journal will also look at the ways and means in which the international community uses and adapts international law to deal with new and emerging challenges. Non-state actors , intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations, individuals, peoples, transnational corporations and civil society as a whole - have changed our outlook on contemporary international law. In addition to States and intergovernmental organizations, they now play an important role.
