On granting #assistedsuicide to people with #learningdisabilities and #Autism
"in around two-thirds of the 39 cases analysed, the characteristics of ASD or intellectual disabilities were the โsole or majorโ cause of suffering, which were found to be severe enough to approve assisted dying.
In eight of the 39 cases, this unbearable suffering was only related to the learning disability or autism."

@BeAware the fact that difficulties in school aren't just #LearningDisabilities or undiagnosed whatever, could also be due to numerous problems at home. Unfortunately for me I didn't get help until high school because apparently #dyslexia isn't a state recognized learning disorder (still salty about this) and I didn't get diagnosed with #adhd until high school. On top of that due to #anxiety I was unable to ask for help.

Hi folks, I really recommend following @GeorgeJulian a journalist who posts about the treatment of #autistic people and people with #LearningDisabilities in the U.K.
This is a #HumanRights issue. Itโs really important we recognise how our #neurokin are being cared for.
Go find out more and boost some of their posts.

For anyone in the #Somerset or #Bath area who likes fresh, #local, #seasonal #vegetables and #flowers, check out Root Connections in Stratton on the Fosse. They're a Community Interest Company: all profits go towards ending #homelessness. They also support recovering #addicts, people with #LearningDisabilities, ex-offenders and others.
They're hosting a #Christmas market this Saturday ... do go along and have a look.

#introduction I'm in the final 3 months of my PhD focused on #belonging and #inclusion for people with #learningdisabilities (#intellectualdisabilities) at the University of Glasgow. I also work as a researcher trying to improve access to cancer screening amongst adults with learning disabilities. If I'm not in my office, I'm probably running. ๐บ๐ธ ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ
