We want to raise awareness of mental health problems and suicide risk in autism. To do this, we need help from autistic people, and family members who support a person with autism – tell us your stories through a written blog post, poetry, art or sculpture. We want to know what needs to change with regard to supporting adults with autism who experience mental health problems, self-injury and thoughts of ending life.

“It is so important to be given a voice” (Autistic Adult)
