The Autistic Autism Consultant

We found Kara when searching online for Autism support . Although not formally diagnosed yet Kara was able to provide us with much support and many suggestions for guiding us through our initial steps to finding help for a family member. Kara was incredibly warm, kind , responsive and knowledgeable. I could not be more grateful for her help . Thank You Kara!

Kara is an incredible ally and is highly skilled. Empathy might be her middle name. She's both caring and intelligent. I cannot recommend her enough. Don't hesitate to reach out.

Kara Nash is, quite simply, an extraordinary person with extraordinary gifts. She has been working with our son—an adult with ASD—for some time now, and both my wife and I have been privileged to participate in a few of their sessions (at our son’s request). We have been able to witness firsthand her ability to listen with great empathy, to very carefully make perceptive observations, and to even more carefully offer information and suggestions in a way that is deeply respectful of one’s dignity. She brings to her work a great store of technical knowledge, an intuitive understanding and respect for the person she is working with. She has a rare ability to put the other person at ease, to listen and to connect, sometimes with humor and always with empathy. But perhaps the most extraordinary gift that Kara brings to her work is the ability to share from her own experiences as a person with ASD. When appropriate, she is open and honest about herself, sharing experiences (often with humor) when they are relevant to the issue at hand. She manages to do it while always remaining the consummate professional that she is. It is this level of understanding that sets Kara apart from the other excellent professionals our son has worked with. Kara continues to be enormously helpful, not only to our son, but to both of us as his parents, as we watch him address and overcome obstacles that have seemed insurmountable. We continue to be very grateful that she has come into our lives.

What a blessing Kara has been to me! I got referred to Kara from a friend as I am dealing with the severe effects of a MTHFR gene mutation and didn’t know where to go. Kara has been a massive help to me through this part of my journey by listening to my symptoms and providing me with valuable information to get these symptoms under control. You can tell she truly cares about helping the people who really need it. I am so grateful for her assistance through this and would highly recommend her!! Thank you Kara!

I had a consultation with Kara, I was impressed with her knowledge and compassion. She has an authentic perspective as a neurodivergent adult, that I found to be incredibly helpful. I highly recommend Kara for parents, self advocates and professionals!

Kara is that all-too-rare professional who has both all the skill sets & knowledge you could need AND a wonderfully kind, supportive manner that can quickly put you at ease. She handles topics that may be difficult for Clients to share with a new person w/ care & gently & consistently crafts an atmosphere in which one feels heard & considered, is given achievable-at-your-level guidance & is networked in such a way as to help inform you as to how you may want to set-up & address your care team in different situations. She was integral to assisting me in addressing some very complex health concerns that overlap in may areas. Working w/ Kara has helped me to re-empower myself in my own self-advocacy & get back on a path of action that gives me a much clearer avenue to pursue & I'm hopeful for the first time in a long time. I highly recommend her - whether for an assessment, ongoing work and/or just to check in to get to know her & see if your needs are compatible w/ what she's able to offer & do - which is a lot! I wish anyone reading this kudos in working towards your own health & care.
