Abstract
The article is devoted to reconceptualising the professional potential of people with autism spectrum disorders through the lens of the neurodiversity paradigm. It analyses the transition from the deficit medical model to the recognition of the unique cognitive advantages of autistic people in professional activities. Specific abilities in autism are examined: hyperfocus, systems thinking, attention to detail, honesty, and creativity as competitive advantages in the modern knowledge economy. Strategies for creating an inclusive work environment are presented, including adaptation of organisational processes, staff training, and implementation of supportive technologies. The necessity of systemic changes for effective professional integration of people with autism is substantiated.
