An app to help prevent suicide in ASD?? Comments please

DaveAsperg

I have been working with other major players to develop an app to help Aspies with suicidal ideation as I have found psychotherapy and antidepressants haven't helped me at all, but others with Lived Experience can say very useful things. 

I feel "the experts" often dominate the conversation and always feel they know best, but an app with power to the Aspies to comment and advise??

What do you think??

Those involved include Prof Simon Baron Cohen and Sarah Cassidy ( check them out if you don't know them)

Recent post  such as "I don't enjoy anything anymore" indicate many of us ruminate on negative thoughts??? do we

  • do you mean an app where we can all talk to each other when we feel suicidal?

    If you use apps, Chris, you might want to sign up to the volunteer list for Cambridge University's Centre for Autism Research.  On Dave's recommendation, following his previous post about the app, I did that.  They send out an e-mail now and again asking for autistic volunteers to do a few quizzes or participate in other research projects.  If the parameters of the project apply to me, I do it.  I had one invite in the last few days about the use of apps, which I assume is the project Dave is talking about.

    Otherwise have a search of the site here for Dave's previous post about the app. :-)
