I've been coaching and counselling auties and aspies in aspects of suicide avoidance and prevention for the past 21 years. It began as a sideline of my full time career and became a full time hobby when I retired. I was asked to begin doing it by my boss after I was diagnosed and treated for Asperger's Syndrome in hypno-regression therapy to repair me after a nervous breakdown at work. The hypno-regression therapy revealed I had a history of between 2K and 2.5K suicide attempts by the age of 16 and then none for 34 years. I began by using the office intranet as there was no internet in those days, but switched to the internet as soon as it was operational, as I was unable to use the office intranet out of hours. Within three years, I was working around the clock, 24/7/52, grabbing cat naps when I could. It tipped me over the edge into another nervous breakdown, therefore, and I killed myself, one more time, and came back to life 8 hours later, which was roughly, the average time I stayed dead, each time. I wont tell you where I used to go on those occasions and who I used to meet there and what we used to do, because you wont believe me, if I did, and I've had enough doubting Thomas' to contend with, throughout my life, without you, too.
I offer free autie/aspie and non autie/aspie suicide avoidance and prevention coaching and counselling by email autoresponder, (DELETED BY MODERATOR*) so that's not I want to discuss.
What I want to discuss is the propensity of us auties and aspies to contemplate / attempt suicide so much. All of my colleagues at work had the same kind of history as me, about 400 in total, and like me, had admitted as much in independent research, in the late 1960s, into 'out of body experiences', carried out by a Cambridge university researcher into paranormal activity in the UK. And, we all had very similar stories to tell about where we went, who we met there, and what we did there. It was however, confined to Esquire members of the County Surveyors Society, founded in 1066, by William the Conqueror, so there was a solid reason why this was so. We were all related, inasmuch as we were all bloodline descendants of William the Conqueror's family.
When I began researching this, on my retirement, I found thousands of others, in the USA, had similar types of tales to tell, but in the context of research by an USA, Monroe Institute. It is possible that these were also bloodline descendants of William I's family, as we colonised the original 13 United States of America before they won Independence. So, I'm wondering if any other members of this NAS forum has had any similar experiences. Another term commonly used on the internet to describe such experiences, is Near Death Experiences (NDEs).
