Larry
Just to tell you that I can empathise and feel so sad to hear about your suicidal traumatic experiences.
As you know I hazve 'lived' these experiences myself many many times as an Aspies, which are usually triggered by 'stressful' events and environmental triggers within my life.
We are both aware that para-suicide, attempted and actual suicide is at a very high rate with in ASC's community, especially for adolsescents and adults. We also know about the high rate suicide rtaes for carers too, usually female care of ASC children.
As you know I have brought this up with the responsible Government departments and I have meetings lined-up in the New Year which I want you to be involved in.
So, take care my friend, and I am glad to hear that you are recovering after yourr recent traumatic incident.
