Most people would introduce Carly as a disability advocate, and they'd be right, but she’s also so much more than that: she’s an author, a podcaster, and a generally wonderful human being. In this chat, which took place in the very trendy suburb of Brunswick, we talk about friendships and loneliness, what it's like to bump into your school bully, and the people who try to "cure" her genetic condition.
