Cara Darmody: I won’t be going away and will continue to call out disability discrimination

Hi everyone! It's Cara Darmody here, the 12-year-old autism advocate that has gone to Leinster House once a week since last January to try and get the Government to make changes in the autism and disability worlds. 

I have two severely autistic brothers, Neil, aged 10, and John, 6, who cannot talk to me so life is really hard in our family. That motivates me to help the thousands of other families who are in the same boat.
