Disability services are real funny.
Our article is in the latest issue of IJDD: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… We report that people with intellectual disabilities give the same reasons for hurting themselves as everyone else. Seems obvious, but we currently don't respond as if this is the case. Time for a change.
