Press & Media

For newsrooms, professional associations and partners

Because understanding begins with knowledge.

Autismus Wissen (“Autism Knowledge”) is an independent information platform on autism, everyday life, research, participation and social developments. We put studies, legal frameworks and current debates into context, in clear language and with traceable sources. The site is published in German; parts of it are also available in English.

  • Everyday life
  • Research
  • Participation
  • Society

About the platform

The platform offers knowledge articles across ten topic areas, starting points for typical situations, checklists and templates, support contacts, a glossary, and a news section covering studies, court rulings and policy developments.

Factual claims rest on sources named in each article. We do not present scientific uncertainty as certainty, and articles on legal topics state the legal position and its basis. The content is general information and is no substitute for diagnosis, therapy or legal advice. Legal articles refer to German law.
