Today on World Su***de Prevention Day, it’s important to acknowledge that autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent people are at higher risk of su***de - not because of who they are, but because of the challenges they face. Stigma, isolation, masking, misdiagnosis, and co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression all increase vulnerability. However, su***de can be prevented through early and accurate diagnosis, neurodiversity-affirming mental health care, and supportive environments where people feel safe to be themselves. If you or someone you know is struggling, reaching out to a qualified professional can make a life-changing difference.
