Founder
(he/him)
It's my job to build an informed and empowering team of Personal Coaches, to ensure they're matched up with the right clients, and to keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. I also host the podcast Autism Stories, which reflects APC's Autistic-centered strategy by elevating the personal viewpoints of #ActuallyAutistic people. I'm passionate about training to run marathons, eating at new restaurants, enjoying a hot cup of coffee, and watching way too many TV shows.

When I embraced my neurodivergence, it unlocked my life. I'm passionate about helping others find that kind of peace. Is your organization excited to be part of the movement? Let's chat about the meaningful opportunities we can build together!
I'm a Queer, late-identified AuDHDer (Autism + ADHD) whose special interests include animals, aliens, ancient Egypt, language, and musical theater. My favorite thing to do is crossword puzzles with my cat, Amélie!

Tas Kronby
Administrative Assistant
(they/he)
I am an Autistic, ADHD, Disabled, Deaf, Queer, POC. I earned my Bachelor degree in English Literature in 2023 and graduated Magna Cum Laude.
As an advocate, I have worked on a legislative level and grass roots. I am passionate about accessibility online and in person. Higher education is one of the most inaccessible places for Autistic and Disabled folks. Therefore, I support clients with everything from applying for college to getting reasonable accommodations. I stay up to date on federal laws that impact the Autistic community and how it intertwines with the ADA.
I support navigating the workplace whether it be getting reasonable accommodations or sorting through social politics.
In my free time, I am a surrealist horror artist and extreme horror writer. I play DnD, I love TWD, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Babylon 5, Primeval, Blood Drive, Death note, Vampire Knight...okay, I am a nerd and wear my nerd badge proudly!
