Hello and welcome to The Autistic Autism Consultant. 

My name is Kara Nash, and I bring over two decades of experience as a registered nurse specializing in mental health. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of supporting patients and their families across various mental health settings.

I hold a certification as an "Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist" and have dedicated over 500 hours to continuing education focused on autism. I've had the honor of presenting at both local and regional autism conferences, as well as doing autism related trainings throughout the SouthEast.

My primary interest lies in empowering individuals to comprehend their physical and mental well-being, aiming to alleviate the stigma, isolation, shame, anxiety, and depression often associated with an autism diagnosis.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working closely with hundreds of individuals on the spectrum. Additionally, I've been fortunate to deliver presentations and engage in educational interactions with hundreds more.

I will meet you and/or your loved one at the prescriber's office or come to your home if it's a virtual visit. We will pre-plan what we'd like to get accomplished for the visit and then I will advocate from an autistic nurse's perspective to try and decrease the number of visits needed and the stress of trying to communicate in an overwhelming atmosphere. WIth your permission and a Release of Information, I can also communicate directly with your prescribers and relay information via the patient portal in a way that they will understand.
