Suicide rate of ASD people

Post Reply New Topic

I love the way you try and demonise me by accusing me of being NT, and having TOM

So what if I can see your harmful intentions??

So does everyone else here except newbies who have yet to have had the pleasure of your constant aspie put downs

And you accuse me of unsupportive postings??

Okay, surfman, let's agree to disagree.

You see me as a bad guy and I see myself an innocent who can be negative and a little egocentric at times to not understand how my posts are going to affect others.

I think you should get over it and stop attacking me. Is this the so-called "negative karma" you're speaking of?

Are you really interested in the suicide rate of autistics, or are you just asking us a bunch of questions to see what kind of reactions we're going to give you?

I'd kill myself if I knew there was no Hell or that death was just some kind of continuation of life on earth. If I knew that there was no after life whatsoever or that it was positive, I would be dead already.

I'm convinced I was a mistake. My parents just had sex and boom, there came me. I'm not meant to be here.

I read that for my specific thing, NVLD, or nonverbal learning disorder, that it has the highest suicide rate of all LDs, don't know the exact numbers, but yeah. So NVLD's similarity with AS, it wouldn't surprise me, it's usually diagnosed comorbid with AS/PDD-NOS, but a lot of girls get NVLD diagnosis, so the ratio for males to female for NVLD is 1:1, whereas Aspergers is a lot higher toward the males. But NVLD is a neurological disorder, not psychological like AS, so there's that.

But yeah, quite sobering to learn that statistic for me, yay...

So in that link provided above. The book says 32% of people with AS report having mental health problems.
8% in one study, 15% in another study had planned or attempted suicide: count me in with that number
meanwhile 0.6% of people on the ASD had successfully succeeded at suicide which is significantly higher then the normal population.

British Aspies are more likely to commit suicide, because here in the UK you've got to be confident everywhere you go, if you're not confident your life if f****d because you will get unempathetic remarks and stares for the rest of your life. You can't even walk into a supermarket without being confident, if you appear unconfident in a supermarket you will be pushed out of the way by grouchy bitchy women.

Plus David Cameron thinks everybody in this country has confidence, and that in this country everyone who are unemployed are all confident enough to just get a new job without any barriers in your way. If you lack confidence and social interaction which interfers with finding a job, then you are punished by being given community work out in the cold, and being thrown all over the country for job interviews, whether you have confidence with public transport like trains or not.

No way am I getting trains to London just for a stupid job. Especially not the tube trains - I don't like the tube trains.

This is a fact. People killing themsevles because of their autism it is kind of sad.
