“Wildflower calls on autistic writers and artists to submit work that embraces their inner wildflowers and how autists experience life, introversion, and sexuality through the medium of poetry, fiction, and visual art. We intentionally curated these themes because they reflect lived experiences often neglected in literature and art. Wildflower recognizes and celebrates the autistic writer, the autistic artist, and the autistic mind; for us by us.“
