Neurodivergent Friends - The Founders

Megan Hill

Founder of Neurodivergent Friends

Megan was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD as an adult

Guiding Philosophy and Work at Neurodivergent Friends™

Megan leads with honesty, self-reflection, and a deep belief in mutual support. She is focused on building programs based on real needs and desires within the community, not just ideas or appearances. Volunteers at Neurodivergent Friends™ are encouraged to create offerings based on their strengths and passions. This helps prevent burnout and takes pains to avoid the high costs that often limit grassroots disability programming by partnering with other agencies and using borrowed spaces.

Megan believes in building safe, accessible programs where everyone feels welcome, without feeling the need to mask or perform, realizing that it is hard to turn it off. Masking robs neurodivergent individuals of their identity and dignity. Her work is grounded in reality, shaped by lived experience, and strengthened by collaboration with other families and advocates.
New Beginnings

Megan recently relocated her family to Oregon as part of her husband's military retirement after nearly 22 years of service. Oregon has significantly more robust services for adults with IDD, and she intends to start a new chapter once her move is settled.

**The Board of Neurodivergent Friends sincerely appreciates all the hard work, dedication and time Megan and Andy Hill contributed to this amazing organization. They will be greatly missed and we wish them nothing but the best in their future endeavors. We hope their next chapter brings new opportunities, positive experiences and meaningful connections. They will always have a place in Neurodivergent Friends community and our door will always remain open.

With gratitude and best wishes,

The Board of Directors

Andrew Hill

Founding Member of Neurodivergent Friends™

Known as Andy, our former treasurer and recently retired from the US Army. He has been married to his best friend Megan Hill for 22 years, and together, they have two adult children. At home, Andrew navigates and supports the dynamics of living with a predominantly autistic family, but his Army career left him with his own neurodivergent challenges.

Andrew actively supports Megan's endeavors at multiple nonprofit organizations. Before moving to Oregon he was a full time soldier and student and volunteered his time with Texas Parent to Parent as a parent mentor and speaker, is a Harker Heights Library Volunteer, and actively contributes to Neurodivergent Friends™ to support and uplift Neurodivergent individuals. Andrew believes in empowering Autistic individuals and ensuring their voices are heard.

"There aren't bad times, just good times you must work harder for," Andrew reflects, emphasizing resilience and dedication in navigating life's challenges alongside his family.
