"Mishka is a gifted speaker!"
“Mishka Sibert joined an employee panel at Adobe to talk about Embracing Neurodiversity. Her stories and insights were incredibly moving and helpful to the audience. She is a gifted speaker who knows how to make her points succinctly and build on what others are saying to present a powerful narrative. I’m looking forward to inviting her back for a keynote as I’d love more time just with her on stage.”

The awareness she brings to what is possible for those with Autism will help make the world more inclusive.
Mishka was a delight to have as a host for our Autism Celebration Webinar for our disability resource group. Our associates provided feedback on how valuable the session was and how they really appreciated knowing there were others in our company with similar experiences. The awareness she brings to what is possible for those with Autism will help make the world more inclusive. The webinar was engaging and interactive with the audience as well. Samko is also an amazing person. His smile could light up a room and he is a very talented artist. We all need a sibling like Mishka!
