Those who are Autistic and/or ADHD are at far higher risk of suicide. And the official figures don’t even include those who go undiagnosed, struggling to cope, not knowing why.
Many of these suicides could be prevented, if it was easier to get screened for neurodevelopmental conditions, and easier then to access neurodivergent-friendly mental health treatment, including medication, yes even for under 18s!
What can you all do to help? Sign and share this petition from The Jordan Legacy CIC to get Parliament to take action to minimise suicides:
