Suicide in People with Autism: Risks, Signs, and Intervention | Brenna Maddox & Lisa Morgan

Suicide is a leading cause of premature death in autistic people. Autistic individuals are significantly more likely to think about and attempt suicide than the general population. However, most mental health professionals do not feel confident about identifying suicide risk, particularly signs of acute risk (i.e., warning signs), and intervening when autistic individuals are in crisis. The goal of this presentation is to improve attendees’ knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy related to recognizing risk factors and warning signs of suicide risk in autistic individuals, and identifying appropriate crisis supports and resources for this population.
