'I'm not giving up. We can no longer wait for the adults in the room' - Cara Darmody (13) on her battle for better autism services
Briefly

"At least I can fight for myself, but Neil and John can't fight for themselves," Cara said. She emphasizes the need for advocacy not just for herself, but for her autistic brothers who require constant support and care.
"I'm not going to give up, and if that means protesting outside Leinster House and building snowmen there, I'll do that," she said. This quote underscores Cara's commitment to continue her fight for services despite the challenges.
"Some of her youth has been robbed by this issue, but it was robbed long before this because she's had to care for the lads," Mr. Darmody said. This highlights the personal sacrifices Cara has made, illustrating the broader impact on family dynamics due to caregiving responsibilities.
