I’m Tammy Scott, a 50-year-old mum, educator, disability consultant, engineer-by-training and founder of Together Growing Strong. My life has taken more turns than I ever expected, and these days I’m far more interested in building a life that fits than following the path I’m supposedly meant to be on. I’m neurodivergent, endlessly curious, and happiest when I’m learning something new, connecting with people or having an adventure, whether that’s travelling, scuba diving, trying something I’ve never done before, or buying myself LEGO because somewhere along the way I realised adults are allowed to play too.

Much of my work is about helping neurodivergent people and the people around them understand themselves, challenge assumptions and create lives and environments that work for who they actually are. That philosophy has increasingly shaped my own life as well. At 50, I’m not particularly interested in becoming quieter, smaller or more sensible with age. I want to keep learning, contributing, exploring, changing direction when I need to, and growing the kind of wrinkles that tell the story of a life genuinely lived.
