i think that the mistreatment of folks with autism is not enough to explain to have this high of a suicide rate, and that autism does just make life harder to deal with, regardless of discrimination
And yet you have no other answers. So until you have them, that seems to be a good working theory.
i think working off answers we do have is a better idea, actually
such as suicide being one of the top three causes of death for autistic people. The other two being heart disease and epilepsy complications, and them on average dying under 50 years of age.
I suggest to read more than one article about the double empathy problem at first.
We have multiple papers stating it’s the way we are mistreated the issue. Autists don’t have a lack of empathy, communication, socialization, non verbal language, etc. We express them in a different way, an Autistic way! This is as valid as the neurotypical way.
We need to stop internalizing ableism and self blaming us for everything and nothing. These are direct consequences of mistreatments too.
How is that an idea of what the cause of suicide is? Where is the explanation of cause there? Because I gave an explanation of the cause. So far, all you’ve done is play coy.
