Trigger warning: This video addresses myths and facts about suicide.

April is Autism Awareness Month.

Not everyone takes on information in the same way, which is why it's important for all of us to be aware of who we are chatting with and think about the best way for us to make them feel heard and supported.

Research has shown that autistic and neurodivergent people are more likely to experience anxiety and depression and be at risk of self-harm and suicide.

Neurodivergence is a word that describes people whose brain is thought to work differently to typical (neurotypical) people. There are a number of conditions that sit under the umbrella term of neurodivergence. Some of the more common ones that you may have heard of are Autism, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), Tourette Syndrome, Dyslexia and other learning difficulties such as Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia and Dyspraxia/Developmental Coordination Disorder. Neurodivergent people may or may not also have an intellectual disability.

R U OK? and the Suicide Response Project co-designed some resources with neurodivergent people with lived experience of suicide as well as their families and those who supported them. These resources have been designed to guide you on how to have an R U OK? conversation with your neurodivergent friends, family members and colleagues who might be struggling with life's ups and downs. By meaningfully connecting and lending support, we can help those we care about long before they're in crisis. Download the free resources at www.ruok.org.au/neurodivergent
