People with learning disabilities die on average more than 25 years younger than the rest of the population.
The death of Sara Ryan's son Connor in NHS care led to today's Learning Disability Mortality Review. She said learning disabilities are now a life limiting condition pic.twitter.com/wdvGIy1Tox

People with autism have an average lifespan of 54.
Maybe we should get our pensions earlier?

where is the international disability studies establishment in challenging a disgrace of the treatment of people with LD. Hadamar was seen as a war crime, what happened to justice for people with LD's? Stop producing academic papers for advancement within university and get real

Itβs time we focus on the younger generation with learning disabilities - they have every right to live longer and make a life for themselves in the society!

Absolutely but the problem needs context. An economy that impoverishes workers who do not fit its constantly changing demands will all but kill the physically or mentally disabled by its very nature.

Well said! Many of these deaths are heinous crimes, lets call them out for what they are. In any other sector preventable deaths would be a serious crime and treated as such. When ppl with #learningdisabilities are neglected to death perpetrators pay blood money, done & dusted

What a Loss to the Service. All because Egos come before Patients.

We could start by acknowledging people with a learning disability are free & equal citizens of the UK & end institutional care. LD is a life long condition where ppl need support. Ceasing to refer to a learning disabled person as a 'patient' will help to end prejudice.
