Suicide prevention in autism group

DaveAsperg
over 2 years ago

I have been running a small group of academics for suicide prevention in autism for a few months now and I feel we may get something useful. Included in the group are Prof Simon Baron Cohen and Sara Cassidy. We share ideas , but I seem to be coming up with the major ones.

there’s a group of autistic people which has met to discuss this and concluded we are never taken seriously, drugs are pretty useless, psychiatrists response is poor and inappropriate.

I have been trying for funding and help to have an autistic arm to the Stay Alive  app. The app seems well researched and well supported 

We could include a Database studying online suicidal ideation in Autism as well as specific routes of advice.

my big idea is to have an Alexa type artificial intelligence system to offer an online reply consultation with the computer. No humans involved as I have found Samaritans etc, kind but always avoid advice.

This system could give research based advice as my experience of mental health services are thats they are terrible with suicidal ideation in autism 

what do you think?

    Honestly I don't think you could prevent it anyway. Untill the government does more for us as far as human rights we see were a no a hope cause anyway. Depression doesn't just stem from Autism. Are depression stems from the fact that know one is making the effort to accept or try and understand us. Were competing in a capstlist world survival of the fittest so to speak and the only other option comunisum which also wouldn't fair any better. Our depression is caused by NT's playing phycolgyical mind games with us being bullied by NTs then being left to live our lives and eventually die a lone. That's why we suffer from depression our anxiety is our dipression. Doesn't take a genius with a digree to work that one out........Unless you can stop NTs from being ass holes and sort out the government then there is no cure for it.
