Seeking Autistic Adults for Suicide Prevention Survey
Researchers at Florida Atlantic University, with the participation of the Autism Society of America, are conducting a study on suicide prevention in relation to Autistic adults. We recognize suicide is a problem that needs to be better understood in relation to Autism. We want to know how crisis or suicide prevention hotlines may have been helpful to you and what supports may have worked for you in times of crisis.
If you are an adult with Autism, we would very much appreciate your help in completing this survey. The results will help improve suicide prevention efforts for persons with Autism. The survey is online and completely confidential.
