Technically, for the sake of being honest but also mindful of what I say, I have been consistently suicidal for over the last decade. My autism was not identified or accommodated. I was suffering from the social fallout of the double empathy problem theory. I was talking to integrate economically.

All of these created an ever-increasing stain on my mental health that never allowed suicide to go away. It just got worse and worse over time. I’m truly lucky to be alive.
