Summary/Abstract: The Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic posed a new and crucial challenge for both the health care system and the education and social policy sectors. The lockdown period turned out to be a source of significant difficulties in the functioning of many people. Persons with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their relatives were in a particularly difficult situation. The aim of the research was to find out the level and dimensions of resilience of fathers of children with ASD in the COVID-19 pandemic. The research tool was a questionnaire developed by the authors and the Resilience Scale (SPP-25) developed by Ogińska-Bulik and Juczyński. The results of elasticity measurement indicate its average level. The respondents showed a higher intensity factor: optimistic attitude to life and the ability to mobilize in difficult situations.
