Bei College-Studenten mit unterschiedlichen Geschlechtern und Studierenden mit Autismus ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass sie suizidale Gedanken und Verhaltensweisen haben, höher als bei ihren cis-Kollegen ohne Autismus, und bei Studierenden, die sowohl geschlechtsspezifisch als auch autistisch sind, ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass sie einen Selbstmordversuch unternehmen, am höchsten.

I’ve linked to the news release in the post above. In this comment, for those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

From the linked article:
US scientists say both gender-diverse college students and students with autism are more likely than their cis peers without autism to experience suicidal thoughts and behaviours, and students who are both gender-diverse and autistic may be the most likely to attempt suicide. They looked at data from more than 41,000 students with an average age of around 23, and found gender-diverse students were 3.34 times as likely as their cis peers to experience suicidal thoughts, while students with autism were 2.06 times as likely to experience them as students without autism. When it came to suicide attempts, gender-diverse students were 2.74 times as likely as their cis peers to have attempted suicide, while students with autism were 2.39 times as likely, compared with non-autistic students. The students most at risk of attempting suicide were those who were both gender-diverse and autistic, the authors say. The findings highlight the need for interventions to support gender-diverse and autistic students, they conclude.
“the ones closest to the accepted norm are suffering from the least psychological stress”
you don’t say…
As someone with autism, I’m offended that you’d lump me in with “Gender-Diverse” people… What I suffer from is real. Meanwhile their only problem is they can’t decide what aesthetic to adopt…
Ya dont say. Its almost like the world is really harsh for those of us who are trans and autistic.
Here is just one reason each that it has my ideation go up: Autistic burnout can torpedo months worth of work and that can have devastating impacts on financial stability and the general psychological stress of being trans worrying about your access to healthcare if you even get it.
We dont need interventions, we need meaningful support
Children with autism have higher rates to experience adverse childhood experiences: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6082373/
So do sexual minority populations: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24643297/
So it could be a cumulative effect.
