Founder, Neurodivergent Advocate & Educator

Founded by Alex Detzner, M.ED. an AuDHD (Autistic & ADHD) Behavior Analyst, to create a community of advocacy, & support for fellow neurodivergent folx that she could never find within the constraints of ABA. After 5 years as a behavior analyst, and over 15 years in disability services, Alex opened AND to meet a need she didn’t see supported by the field; behavior analytic support and services driven by lived experience and understanding.

As an Autistic and multiply neurodivergent professional herself, Alex brings a unique perspective to her work, emphasizing the importance of self-advocacy and authenticity for every client. She employs a trauma-assumed approach, ensuring individualized care to the client or organization’s unique experiences and needs.

Alex believes in empowering and uplifting the voices of all Autistic individuals and working collaboratively with families to find customized strategies that best support each individual’s growth and well-being. Committed to parent education and client empowerment, Alex provides resources and guidance to help families navigate support needs with confidence.

Through a combination of personal insight and professional expertise, Alex strives to create positive, lasting change in the lives of those they serve, championing a more inclusive and understanding world for neurodivergent individuals.
