2nd April – World Autism Awareness Day 🌈♾️🧠
Maybe instead of another “important day on the calendar,” we can do something simpler today.
Let’s pause for a moment and truly try to see another person, just a little more attentively than usual.
Autism is not “a different world,” but a different way of experiencing the same world - sometimes more intense, more sensitive, more complex.
📊 According to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 1 in 31 children are on the autism spectrum
📊 Globally, autism is estimated to affect around 1 in 100–127 people (World Health Organization)
This does not mean that autism is “increasing.”
Research shows that the rise in diagnoses is due, among other things, to:
✔ greater social awareness
✔ better access to diagnostics
✔ broader diagnostic criteria
At the Quiet After Ringing Foundation, we meet people on the autism spectrum and their loved ones every day.
We see their strength, sensitivity, and immense potential.
But we also see the challenges, which often stem not from autism itself, but from a lack of understanding in the environment.
Research clearly shows that:
🌈 early diagnosis and support significantly improve quality of life
🌈 autism is a spectrum - each person has different needs and abilities
🌈 an accepting environment has a huge impact on wellbeing and functioning
That’s why we need a world that:
🌈 understands instead of judging
🌈 supports instead of excluding
🌈 creates space instead of taking it away
Not just today.
Every day.
!!! To mark this day, we’ve prepared something very concrete !!!
We know how difficult access to reliable diagnosis can be—and how often the cost is simply prohibitive.
That’s why we’re introducing a special diagnostic offer (valid until the end of April):
🔹 Full ASD or ADHD assessment - 600 PLN
(inc. 3 online sessions and a full report, DIVA-5 diagnostic interview for ADHD and ADOS-2 for ASD, conducted by a psychologist-diagnostician, in English or in Polish).
👉 For context: comprehensive assessments like this often cost 2–3 times more on the market.
We believe that reliable diagnosis should be accessible, not a luxury.
If you’ve been feeling for a long time that “something doesn’t quite add up,” this might be a good moment to explore it in a safe and professional space.
