What is the study about?
The purpose of this study is to develop a new measure of suicidality called the Autism Suicidality Inventory (ASI). The ASI is a survey that measures suicidality in autistic adolescents and adults. The ASI was developed in partnership with autistic teens and adults. The availability of such a measure is key to inform intervention development to improve safety and quality of life. We hope to learn information that can be used to support mental health for autistic people.
