Summary/Abstract: The adulthood of persons with autism is a challenge to them, their parents and therapists. They search for various advice, guidelines, and inspiration that would allow them to experience adulthood in a satisfactory way. Entering this phase of their lives is often associated with the difficulty of developing the readiness to take on the developmental tasks of this phase of life and act in new social roles. The authors of this article present suggestions on how to prepare persons with autism during adolescence to establish relationships with friends, build friendships and establish relationships in adulthood. There are also proposals on how such persons can develop interests and spend their free time in this phase of life. The article aims to show the importance of the role of education about adulthood for persons with autism and how to plan its course, so that they can fully realize themselves in adult life.
