We should NEVER forget the illegal and medically inappropriate DNRs that were inappropriately placed on people for no other reason other than they had a learning disability. Truly shocking.

When your child dies, you never move on
DONT say these hurtful words

Has she not got over it yet?”
Would you ever get over your child dying

He’s in a better place!!
Better than being with his loving family and friends?

God only takes the best.
I have no words

Discrimination against learning disabled people from professions is real. It is no longer subconscious. It is reinforced through language, narratives, & attitudes. If we are serious about change, we must challenge this & take responsibility for changing culture
