As always your writing, insight and advocacy shines a light on what is really happening with suicide and neurodiversity. I love the fact you included action steps that will really make a difference. I also love the language change which really reshapes the way suicide is understood. Thank you for your hard earned wisdom and continued advocacy. You are a light to this world.

I'm with Betsy - I learned so much here and the action steps are a path forward if embraced little by little. This spoke to me, especially: "real prevention is the daily and proactive work of making entire communities safer and more inclusive."

Sending love Samia.

Thank you for these important insights and your continued work shining light on suicide. I continue to feel that one of the most important places we can help reduce childhood trauma is in the overhauling of our school system. I shared your post multiple places.

Peace and comfort, Kathleen

I totally agree with you about the need for massive changes to our school system to prevent harm and trauma to our kids, especially neurodivergent ones. Thank you for your hard work, writing and advocacy there and for sharing my post. Much appreciated.
