ND adults, please help me with some research for my next book. I want to hear about your experiences of burnout as a neurodivergent adult (esp when autistic, ADHD, PDA, AuDHD)

Every ND individual’s experience of burnout can be different and that is linked to your personal profile, neurotype, differences, etc. Please use this form to anonymously describe your experiences of...

Autistics are >9x more likely to die by suicide

>13x if you're a woman / AFAB
>28x if you're a child
These rates go up when unidentified as Autistic

Identifying Autism in people without intellectual disability is medically necessary

Lives are at stake.

I'll repeat it as many times as I have to.
Why Suicide Is All Too Common Among Autistic Adults
Suicide rates are extremely high among autistic adults. Reevaluating the way workplaces, families, and friends relate to the support needs of autistic adults might be the answer.

This lived in my head my whole life, it was in a film I saw as a kid, and I had no idea what it was. I heard it playing in my 30s and was like 'that's the song!! That's the song!!'

It still makes me cry when I listen to it

Word of the day is ‘quiddler’ (19th century): one who pays great attention to trivial matters as a way of avoiding the important ones.
