And to think that when I started being, or I should say calling myself an advocate, from 2016 to 2022, I naturally gravitate to what had affected my life most profoundly with what I knew. Suicide prevention.

To find that each of the four major experiences with it were all caused by having autism neglected has truly been scary. Like I could stand before a conference, with no notes, and explain in detail for all of them. Nothing else dominated the root cause.

My depression? No diagnosis, awareness, or comprehension of autism. No knowledge of the gravity of the double empathy problem theory’s constant effect on my life and ability to integrate.

My anxiety? Constantly being subjected to the DEP Theory’s cross-neurotype miscommunications. Rejection. Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. Bullying. Paranoia from being ghosted.

And more..

Suicide and autism will continue to be a serious issue. Now, I can connect both together to prove how serious an issue it all is.
