Suicidal autistic

I know you are fed up with my going on about this, but I am stuck on my focus for trying to help suicidality. In ASD we focus on single items and don’t easily move on. Such is the reason I believe we get stuck on the negatives and don’t see the positives, so life becomes intolerable.

What do you think?

I think this is why people say CBT can help, but I find it difficult to use the techniques personally. I'm a massive overthinker that can't move on.

Exactly. I’m a problem solver and if there is an insoluble one, I’m stuck.

My reading on Cbt is that it is not very effective for asd people.

I wonder if this is a reason why suicide is so common in asd?

I would like to get a suitable research project done on this , but can’t see how
