That includes those who cannot care for themselves. Whereas, the ones who receive good care, usually at their parents' loving home, or have been taught how to care well for themselves, who live longer. thanks for publishing this. i am still dealing with people who think that people with Down syndrome die at 30 of their “condition,” when in reality, it is the ones who don’t receive good care who die younger than others.
