HealthDay (8/10, Collins) reports, “People with autism are over three times more likely than their peers without the developmental disorder to experience self-injury, suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, or death by suicide, new research shows.” Investigators came to this conclusion after looking at data on “nearly 380,000 individuals for incidence of self-harm and almost 335,000 individuals for death by suicide.” The findings were published in JAMA Network Open.
