The term "idiots" is offensive and outdated, but assuming the question relates to the lifespan of individuals with intellectual disabilities, research shows that life expectancy varies by the severity of intellectual disability and other health factors. People with mild intellectual disabilities generally have a life expectancy similar to the general population, often living into their 70s. However, those with profound intellectual disabilities tend to have shorter life expectancies, sometimes losing 20% or more of expected life years. Average age at death for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities ranges widely from the mid-50s to early 70s depending on severity and additional health conditions. There are also memes and jokes circulating online claiming "idiots" live only 12-15 years, but these are not based on scientific or medical facts and should not be taken seriously. Actual data show life expectancy for individuals with intellectual disabilities who receive proper care is much longer and improving over time due to better medical and social support.
