Mighty Member since December 2021
My name is Kara. Not only do I deal with two different disabilities, I am a person in recovery from substance use disorder. In addition to that, I am a mom of a profoundly autistic little guy. I hope to bring awareness and education, in the hopes of breaking stigma, around issues like aphasia, chronic pain, substance use disorder, mental health and autism. Also, I love that The Mighty provides a safe place for people to have conversations about what their daily struggles look like. I firmly believe that connection with one another is the true "medicine" for those of us that face life with a diagnosis. We don't have to shoulder these burdens alone.
