I don’t always mention these things but it’s World Suicide Prevention day. I’ve spent many many days in the last 3-4 years not wanting to be on the planet due to feeling entirely worthless. Suicide rates are far far higher in the autistic population. I decided to stick around because of my daughters. I’m starting to see value in myself but it’s a very slow process. Check in with a friend if they’ve been quiet, sad or are going through a really tough time. Maybe go and spend a little time with them, and if you’re feeling very low please please know the world is far better with you in it x
