Meet Flynn! My name is Flynn, I’m an autistic and disabled individual who has been involved in the community for the past decade. I’ve worked many years as a caregiver for others and learning about how to create a more accessible world. I love fungi and moss, foraging, reading and writing poetry every chance I get. I’m a mama to a one year old boy and currently enjoy spending my days with him.
