Research suggests that 80% of autistic people experience mental health problems throughout their life, and around 40% of suicides are estimated to be autistic people. What are some of the reasons why this is the case? 💭🧵

between 250,000 and 600,000 autistic people over the age of 50 may be undiagnosed – more than 9 in 10 of all autistic people. Many are in our clinics and we need to do better in starting the conversation that ND may be intersecting with their mental health
