I've come up with an idea. We should campaign for a suicide memorial for Autistic people in central London. We need to put the message out too many of us die young. The life expectancy for Autistic people is decades shorter than for neurotypicals. We need to really make it so they can't ignore it any longer, put a public memorial up with statistics on it an some people's names and stories.
I mean why central london is one thing that comes to mind. Why not start one online (a lot cheaper and easier) then push for physical memorials that are basically screens linked to the website. So their constantly updated from a central point with out having to pay an engraver to go out and put a new name on the list.
My answer to that is I think a public memorial would resonate with people more.
I disagree with you about making the memorial digital. That has the potential to have bugs in it, it could be hacked too. But it's clever what you came up with, in a way. I just don't think it would be the same though.
It probably would but it’s also harder and an online memorial is a viable stepping stone to a public memorial.
