Suicidal thoughts and behavior (STB) are common among people diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (henceforth “autism,” “autistic people”) (Bury et al., 2023), who are at significantly elevated risk of death by suicide when compared to the general population (Huntjens et al., 2024; Newell et al., 2023; O’Halloran et al., 2022; Mournet, Wilkinson, et al., 2023); for example, compared to Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 population data, the pooled relative risk for suicide in autistic...
