Presentation Topic: The Problem of Depression and Suicidal Ideation in Autism and Related Disorders

How often do we think it occurs?

How serious is it?

How do we distinguish serious symptoms from everyday frustration?

What are the risk factors? Are they similar to the general population, e.g. depression, loss, and substance use?

What should we look for? Learning to read the cues.

When should we be very worried? Does the driven quality of those with ASDs make people more at-risk?

What can we do: in everyday life to help prevent depression; when people are sad;

How can we use the mental health system? Are therapies or medications effective? Are there other ways to address depression in ASD?
