The text presents a comprehensive analysis of the inclusion of autistic people in the job market, highlighting its evolution and challenges. Initially, the change in policies and social perceptions in relation to people with disabilities is highlighted, allowing their professional insertion. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is contextualized in the DSM, addressing socio-emotional and communicative deficits. The research adopted an exploratory and qualitative approach, based on literary analysis with stages defined by Mendes et al. This provided a broad view of inclusion issues, identifying challenges such as social camouflage and difficulties in communication and work organization. The role of employers in inclusion stands out, emphasizing the importance of knowing individual needs and implementing adaptations in the work environment. The analysis of the results shows progress, but there are still challenges to overcome for effective and equal inclusion, suggesting measures such as professional preparation and incentives for hiring. It is concluded that a joint effort by society, companies and institutions is essential to remove barriers, promote awareness and create inclusive and diverse environments. This approach not only benefits autistic people, but also enriches companies and strengthens society, promoting equal opportunities and valuing diversity.
