About
Misted Forest and their Mission
My Dream
The hope I have with my art, and written published works is to inspire a better world for neurodivergent folks. I like to merge art and science in everything I do thus why I am pursing my Masters in Art Therapy.
The biggest difference between those with learning and cognitive differences being successful in the world is often due to economic advantage. Let's level the playing field so that we can save the world with all the super-powered brains of the ADHDer's, Autistic, dyslexic and more.
