"found that 72 percent of autistic adults scored highly for suicide risk, compared to 33 percent of the general population."

Wow these seem like high numbers for both groups.




If 33% of the general population scores highly for suicide risk, there is a curious lack of suicide. I'm pretty sure whoever evaluated that risk was simply incompetent.


Is there though? I was under the impression many suicides look like car accidents or overdoses.
