Rohan Thung serves as program director for the Trumbull Chapter of ACEing Autism, a role he embraced after helping found the chapter with his family. The program uses tennis to support children on the autism spectrum, and Rohan leads efforts to create a supportive and energetic environment for participants. Now a senior at Fairfield College Preparatory School, he also serves as captain and doubles specialist on the Fairfield Prep varsity tennis team. His passion for tennis began at age six, but it deepened when he discovered the sport’s ability to connect and inspire others.

Rohan’s commitment to adaptive tennis started in Ohio, where he volunteered with Buddy Up Tennis, teaching children with Down syndrome. Seeing their joy on the court fueled his dedication. In Connecticut, he channels that same enthusiasm into ACEing Autism. His greatest inspiration is his former coach, Kyle Collete, who turned every practice into something fun with constant positivity, jokes, and nicknames like”Rohan Solo.”  No one could feel tired or down around him. Rohan strives to bring that same encouragement to his students, celebrating every small success to build their confidence. Tennis has also taught him partnership and strategy through doubles play. Beyond the court, he swims, studies astronomy, plays trombone in the jazz band, and accompanies the school orchestra on piano.
