If parents aren't nice to their troubled offspring, they will eventually take their own lives.

I attempted twice last year. I was severely depressed over pretty much nothing in life going the way I wanted it to. It's pretty tough to handle and understand.

perhapes youve already found a reasonable explanation for this.

if not then unfortunately, there seems to be a positive correlation with AS and suicide (whilst taking into account that AS varies considerably between cases)

there is a reason for this though (at least my wild speculations); there are two types of depression: the kind where one is very down for a point in his or her life, but this kind is not linked to any kind of mental or physical problem. then theres the "official case" depression, in which it is classified as an illness due to activity in the brain (this is why there are medicines that supposedly "cure" depression). This has been linked to AS brain types but as i'm aware there is not substantial proof for this, but sadly, the general trend is that AS individuals are more likely to commit suicide.

Ive felt like this myself at many times (maybe i will again). Although i realise you might want comfort more than wild hypothesis, i wish i could be of more help to you.

Unless my life gets better, next year, I am going to do it. I used to be afraid of dying, but now see it as a badge of honour to escape a world where I don't really want to be in the first place.

About 3 hours ago I was more likely, and the more this trend continues the closer I get to becoming a statistic. I don't think it's due to AS alone more than it is full blown depression, but it comes with the challenges of having that label on your forehead so there you go.

maybe this is why handguns are so expensive. Why are the most painless methods such a pain in the you-know-what?

but seriously...my family couldnt get by without my income, and my boss has told me many times that it would be very difficult to find another worker with a work ethic as strong as mine should i ever quit. Seems the problem is that i have too many earthly commitments to fulfill. that and i dont have the money to.

I didn't really feel suicidal regularly as a part of my life, I thought I was always in denial that I'd ever attempt it. Then I had a bunch of crap and bad feelings to deal with last summer and in September I entered a depression that was severe enough that I tried to commit suicide. About a month later I tried again and then nearly tried again in June.

Next year, I'm going by the way of starvation - to watch my family go through heartache is my last dying wish. They'll miss me when I'm gone. Tough.

Then people who have done bad to me will stand and watch it.

There's nothing to stop a dead man dealing with other people! Very Happy

Aspies are very dangerous people when they can't get what they need in order to survive.

If you starve yourself or anything else that soes not cause instant death you will be thrown into a mental hospital. They will force feed and drug you. They can be harsh and not interested to talk with you. It is too much for them to talk to any one. Nothing against you personally. They are just like that to everyone.
Your family won`t care if they already don`t care.
My family just got mad and rejected me even more.
I do personally care that you and all the others are so depressed and hopeless. I have been there many times` and boy is it great feeling to have dug myself out of it.
Autistics and aspies tend to perseverate. So sometimes we perseverate on depressing things.
I just try to find a hobby to perseverate on. Then I am happy.
I am also bipolar so I may go there again.
Seriously tried it several painful times.
I think depression combined with perseveration makes some as people more suseptible than nt`s to suicide.
I care.
Pm me anypne struggling with suicide.

Or e mail me at marynwprt@gmail.com

Peace.
