SU***DE IS HIGH IN THE AUTISTIC COMMUNITY. Please keep a check on your loved ones who have seen the news of Jason.....

THE REALITY AND THE DATA:
• Research shows autistic adults are up to 9 times more likely to die by su***de than the general population.
• Up to 66% of autistic adults have reported facing severe suicidal ideation in their lifetimes.
• Autistic adults without an intellectual disability face the highest, most hidden risk of all.
• Black autistic adults face a severe disconnect—experiencing profound, constant depression and anxiety symptoms but being significantly less likely to receive a formal psychiatric diagnosis or adequate mental health services compared to white peers.
• For Black men, the severe trauma of systemic racial discrimination and overt racism heavily compounds this crisis, driving a direct, devastating increase in suicidal thoughts and attempts.

WHY AUTISM AND SU***DE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED PROPERLY AND NOT A TICK BOX EXERCISE OR MONEY OPPORTUNITY.

I am not surprised of the news.... Anyone who knows about how autism and su***de is high.

Its ironic that University of Cambridge did research on autistic adults and su***de and didnt protect him.

I have always worried about how excellence amongst the autistic community is put on a pedestal forgetting about their mental health and social demands.

Its only those who understand the impact of autism, mental health, trauma and crisis will know from the first time his name was mentioned in a distasteful, disgusting and disturbing way..

He was vulnerable, isolated and overwhelmed.... He was in a dark place... Did he see his GP or contact a crisis line. Who around him knew how to support him?

Through all of this, we must protect our loved ones.

There’s been a lot coming out of federal policy lately.

The SAVE Act is one of those policies that the administration has been trying to push through Congress and could have real impacts on how people register to vote and stay registered.

Join us May7th at 6:30 PM for a virtual conversation with Congressman Adam Smith to outline it clearly and understand the impacts this could have.
