Our NeuroTribe
Your Journey Your Way
Our Story
Our NeuroTribe was created from the shared passion, lived experience and deep professional expertise of two remarkable neurodivergent leaders, Kelly Wiseman and Sky Hockley. Kelly, an autistic woman, mother of three and registered Developmental Educator, has dedicated her life to creating neuroaffirming spaces where autistic individuals and families can build meaningful lives. Sky, a highly experienced disability sector professional, mother of two, brings over 20 years of experience designing programs, coordinating supports and mentoring autistic youth and their families. Together, they joined forces creating Our NeuroTribe, a neurodivergent-led organisation built by and for the neurodivergent community. At Our NeuroTribe, we believe that belonging is not something you have to prove or perform; it is your right. We help autistic individuals, families and communities uncover their strengths, find their voice and build lives that reflect who they are and what matters to them.
