This is something that feels especially important for me to talk about, both as an autistic person and as someone who has personally struggled with suicidal thoughts. The statistics around suicide in the autistic community are heartbreaking. But behind every statistic is an actual person. Someone who deserves to be understood, supported, accommodated, and given the help they need before they ever reach their breaking point. I’m really grateful I’m still here, and if you’re struggling right now, I’m really glad you’re here too.
