Suicidal autistic

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

CBT is (IMHO) total bullcrap - it's premise is that your thinking is wrong and you need to be fixed - but our thinking is usually based on logic and our solutions to real-life problems - or there not being a viable solution.

It's promoted because we are people pleasers - so when we're put under pressure to tell them that we're magically cured, we are compelled to say yes - even though we shouldn't.   

Another box ticked - a roaring success for on-line self-help at zero-cost or effort for the services and more 'evidence' to show how well it 'fixes' us.
