Kiara’s caring role started when she was eight years old. At twenty-four, Kiara is a devoted mother to Rider, her three-year-old autistic son with global developmental delay.
Rider's autism is characterized by severe sensory sensitivities and restrictive eating and other common symptoms she discusses in this episode.
Her son is Kiara’s inspiration and purpose and drives her determination.
When I have conversations with people outside of this world and I say ‘Carer’ they instantly think, ‘Support Worker, Nurse.’ Yeah, no.
Carers are hidden. We are hidden behind our roles. Everything we do is hidden.
