LGBTQ youth who've been diagnosed with autism were over 50% more likely to attempt suicide in the past year compared to LGBTQ youth who've never had an autism diagnosis, according to a new research brief.
The Trevor Project's survey of 34,759 LGBTQ youth found that both youth who had been diagnosed with autism as well as youth who suspected they may be autistic had slightly greater odds of seriously considering suicide in the past year.
Youth who suspected that they may be autistic reported the highest rates of anxiety and depression compared to youth who have autism diagnoses and those who do not. Youth who had been diagnosed with autism also reported higher rates of recent anxiety and depression compared to youth who had never been diagnosed with autism."These findings highlight the urgent need for mental health providers to offer both LGBTQ-affirming and autism-affirming counseling services to autistic LGBTQ youth," the Trevor Project said in the brief.
"Particular attention should be paid to developing and implementing mental health and suicide assessments that are inclusive of autistic youths’ unique needs."
