Our Team.

Diagnosed with autism at 38 years old, and ADHD at 43, Rebekka founded Autism Fits in memory of her dad, who was also autistic, and struggled greatly with how his employers treated him. She was born in Augsburg, Bavaria, but raised in Miami, Florida, where her family has resided for 3 generations, with a mixed background of Hispanic, Eastern European Rroma (Russian and Latvian Rroma), and Balochi. She has worked within the non-profit sector for more than 20 years. With education in civil law and business, she had a successful real estate investment partnership for 6 years, works in media production, and is a 3rd generation artist.

Rebekka also founded and runs Gili Project, which aims to promote Rromani arts and culture, and improve the quality of life for impoverished Rroma.

Serenity is from Santa Cruz, California. She is the first person in her family to attend college and graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a Bachelors in Psychology. She also holds Associates degrees in Social Sciences and Humanities. Diagnosed young with an anxiety disorder, and later diagnosed with autism and ADHD, Serenity joined the Autism Fits team at its development. She is a homeschooling mum of two boys and creates spa products. She previously worked as a case manager in the mental health sector. She is second generation in the United States with a background of Rroma, indigenous Mexican, and Appalachian.

Serenity runs Gili Project along with Rebekka and Maya.

Diagnosed ADHD in 1993, and ASD in 2023, Maya is also a BFA in cross disciplinary studies which serves her well as an author, artist, and graphic designer.
