Sharing this from All Brains Belong VT
Autistic people are dying. This is a public health crisis that not enough people are talking about. The average life expectancy for an autistic person is 36-54 years of age. We're not dying from autism. We're dying from premature cardiovascular disease and suicide. All Brains Belong was founded because the "defaults" of healthcare, education, employment, and most of society are failing the autistic community. Tomorrow is the start of our "Reimagining What's Possible" mission awareness campaign -- follow us to learn what we're doing and how we're making it work. Please share this post with anyone who cares about an autistic person.
