Takiwātanga Creative is led by lived-experience autistic people, providing neuro-affirming support for neurodivergent individuals, families and carers.

We offer creative workshops, mentoring, group facilitation and autism advocacy — helping build confidence, connection and greater understanding within the community.

Whether you're after a craft workshop, one-on-one mentoring, a facilitated group, or authentic autism education, we deliver experiences grounded in lived experience and designed for real inclusion.

Takiwātanga is a te reo Māori term meaning "in their own time and space" — often used to describe autism.
