@actuallyautistic Today I read the following article on the BBC news site regarding the death of Caitlyn Scott-Lee, 16 (link 1). It is a saddening story, and highlights the enhanced level of suicide among the neurodivergent population, with Autistica UK capturing the darker side if the statistics (link 2). It highlights the need for open and safe communities such as this where people can share and discyss, and lead to more open discussion, and a reduction of stigma.
Stay connected,
Stay safe,
Share stories and experiences,
And virtual hugs
