Suicidal autistic

I think it depends on whether you are completely committed to what you want to do or achieve. Yes there are negatives but there are many positives that actually require that single-minded focus at times. There have been many great writers, composers, artists, engineers, Musicians, scientists and much more who are very likely to have been on the spectrum and/or had other mental health challenges. Einstein, Michelangelo, Mozart, Newton, Edison is just scratching the surface from the past.

It is also common knowledge now that places like NASA have always had AS's working there and that the modern high-tech industries are full of valued employees on the spectrum. 

Single item focus does not mean you cannot work on bringing all the single-focus items or topics together. If that were so, then Michelangelo would never have been able to bring together all the individual pieces of the Cysteine Chapel together or Einstein to bring together his single-item theories of relativity together and not many can write a song without writing one line at a time. Some come together in minutes others take years or decades. 

Adam Smith was said to have been so focused on his work that he was often seen walking the roads in the middle of the night in his pajamas trying to make sense of it all or to bring it all together but he had commitment.  

I'm sure like most subjects, Suicide, will cover a very wide range of sub-topics, studies, causes and perspectives and like most subjects will also lead to other inter-linking subjects and so on. So if you want to help I'm sure there is a role for you somewhere in that.  

I read somewhere, a couple of years ago ( before I was told I was very likely ASD) that autism is the next step in human evolution. That the variances on the spectrum are natures way of attempting to find the right balance. Some believe that this is happening due to requirements in problem solving that could prevent the end of the human species. A very interesting thought.

I don't really sign up to that - I believe we're just part of nature - like some people have different coloured eyes & skin.      Humans are *THE* apex predator - to ensure our survival, nature has developed a complex status system that requires adhering to a set of surprisingly complex rules so we don't often need to escalate every conflict into bloodshed.

Some people are better at it than others.

I equate it to complex bird dances at mating time - it's all pre-programmed from birth.     I believe that everything humans do in their whole life is just one big mating dance - from social dominance to having a bigger nest (house), having the most food (gluttony) Having the best partner (plastic trophy wife) - and having the most power - ultimately this leads to psychopaths.

We are the balance - we don't play those games - we're the other end of the curve - Gaussian Distribution - it's all balanced.
