Abstract

This article presents a comparative analysis of barriers and resources for the professional adaptation of adults with high-functioning autism based on foreign and domestic experience. A multi-level structure of barriers has been identified, including psychological (masking, cognitive characteristics), organisational (insufficient awareness of employers), and systemic factors. International support models have been analysed, showing the effectiveness of supported employment programmes (87% versus 12% in the control group). Key adaptation resources have been identified: family support, inclusive work environment, technological solutions, and long-term support. Practical recommendations have been developed for employers, support specialists, and adults with autism themselves to optimise professional integration.
