Authentisch Autistisch

Authentisch Autistisch is a German brand focused on building understanding between autistic and other neurodivergent people and those described as neurotypical. Its work aims to support more informed, cooperative everyday life and relationships through communication that speaks with autistic people rather than about them. The brand combines professional experience and lived perspective: Janina Jörgens has worked for more than 25 years in therapeutic support for autistic people and their networks, as well as in education, while Melanie Kauderer is a late-diagnosed autistic person.

The company serves neurodivergent people, family members, caregivers, and professionals, with resources addressing autism, ADHD, PDA, high sensitivity, and giftedness. Its offerings include practical card sets, communication cards, informational flyers, downloadable PDFs, bundles, and a shop. It also provides online courses and seminars, talks, a regular online gathering, coaching, and free resources. A blog and podcast further its educational work. Topics covered in its materials include school support, masking, trauma, communication, meltdowns, autistic burnout, and strategies for crisis situations.
