c3auti is dedicated to the needs and problems of people on the autistic spectrum and/or with AD(H)D. We particularly offer support to parties concerned in acute situations such as meltdowns, overtaxation or sensory overload. We do so by caring for or accompanying them e.g. to a relaxation room. Of course we are also available for preventative measures, to act before it gets too much for someone.
If you get in an overload, meltdown, shutdown, or similar situation and need acute help, you can reach us under the DECT number 1199 during the whole event.

About us
Our team consists of autistic people with diverse backgrounds and levels of Congress experience as well as people who have experience in responding to our needs (and whom we trust).
Originally offered as a service by the Chaos Mentors, we are now an independent team working closely with the Mentors as well as the Awareness Team and the CERT.
Where we help
From our own experience, we know that a Congress with its thousands of people can be not only overwhelming for neurotypical visitors but especially so for sensitive people.
This is why we want to
- help you in acute situations
- support you before anything gets too much
- support you with matters that would be impossible without support
- advise you if you have any questions regarding autism (even if you are not autistic yourself)
- help you determine if an autistic person needs your help
How we help
We are available by phone around the clock and have access to several rooms, of which at least one is exclusively reserved for c3auti.
