READERS CAFÉ

Books, Magazines, Board Games

Our Reading Room is a special place run by adults on the autism spectrum, under the guidance of experienced therapists and job coaches. It’s a space filled with positive energy, warmth, understanding, and empathy.

Here, you can immerse yourself in your favorite newspapers and books while enjoying gluten-free and sugar-free desserts, aromatic coffee, brewed tea, and freshly squeezed vegetable and fruit juices.

For our employees, working in the reading room is not just about developing professional skills in a friendly atmosphere, but also about building confidence and independence. Each employee is valued and appreciated, which has a significant impact on their personal growth. They learn customer service, time management, and teamwork in an environment that is understanding, safe, and supportive.

Additionally, we offer a unique service of delivering magazines and books to seniors and those who are housebound. This way, they can stay up-to-date with current events and enjoy their favorite publications without leaving home. It’s a gesture of empathy and care that makes daily life easier and more enjoyable.

Our Reading Room is a place of intergenerational integration, where younger people help the elderly, and individuals on the autism spectrum build meaningful relationships. We promote a healthy lifestyle, support personal and professional development, and our initiatives contribute to greater social integration and openness.

Join us and discover how we can work together to create spaces where everyone is welcome and understood.

AUTENTYCZNI

AUTENTYCZNI

Why is our place called „Autentyczni”

The name “Autentyczni” perfectly captures our identity. We are authentic— a trait that particularly distinguishes individuals on the autism spectrum. Our authenticity comes from a unique perspective on the world, which sets us apart and makes us genuine in our interactions.

Our honesty and directness in communication are key elements of our authenticity. We do not use complicated masks or social conventions; we express our thoughts and feelings in a simple and straightforward manner. This means our responses are genuine and complete, without hidden intentions or false motivations.

Our ability to perceive reality literally allows us to notice details that others might miss. Our interests and passions are deeply personal, making us true to what we do and express. We are also characterized by exceptional loyalty and dedication in relationships. When we form bonds, they are based on sincere, deep feelings and mutual understanding, without hidden agendas.

Our authenticity also stems from our courage to be ourselves in a world that often demands conformity. Despite challenges, we remain true to our values and beliefs, which makes us genuine in our actions and relationships.

Our perspective on the world is sincere, direct, and deeply insightful. This makes us incredibly valuable and inspiring, both to ourselves and to those around us.

Part of our team also had the honor of appearing in the Warner Bros TVN series “Autentyczni.”
