@erinrackham: I’m specifically asking about parents of autistic kids because, unfortunately, research shows that autistics are 3x more likely to attempt s**c**e than the average population. 💔 Thanks in advance for any replies! Please take care of yourself and only engage if you’re stable & resourced enough! 🙏🏻 #autism #autisticparenting #pathologicaldemandavoidance #pdaautism

I have a theory that people who experience ideation are drawn to high control religions that promise an end to suffering. And then those religions encourage them to have kids

autistic child of a parent who knew people who took their own lives/had S.I. herself. It did definitely affect her parenting choices, but not in a good way. It made me too afraid to talk about my

Almost myself. Growing up undiagnosed autistic was really hard for me and I had SI many many times. I now have two ND kids and I try so hard to use that to inform my parenting.

I only care that my kids survive through to adulthood. nothing matters as much as they do, not school, jobs... I'm working hard to set my 3 ND kids to be happy and have some ease in their lives

My uncle, and almost myself. I am deeply involved with my kids and have a huge emphasis on conversation and nervous system safety.

I am AUDHD my daughter is autistic and I struggled with SI stemming from PMDD. I track cycles like it’s my job and am very aware of mood changes. I try to stay on top of everything

I have struggled with SI and I have lost a friend to it. It definitely pushes me to make sure I know what’s going with my kids brain and make sure they don’t ever feel isolated with her struggles 💕

No. No. Because I've almost so many times. So my own experience and what has brought my brain here is the biggest push with my parenting.

Multiple people but I feel pretty disconnected about it when it comes to parenting. We just try to be accepting and love regardless of the grief in the past

I have been on the edge of “unaliving” myself for a very long time. And it 100% changes how I parent.

No. But, I take my daughter very seriously when she says she doesn't want to be alive anymore. We have open arms, therapists and SSRIs at the ready for her. She's struggling and it's my job to help ❤️

Im a neurodivergent individual who had a parent with suicide loss trauma, and it effects your parenting in both good and bad ways. the biggest thing to remember is to not make your child feel selfish

1. No. 2. My autistic son started saying EARLY that he didn’t want to be alive. It was so stressful for him sensory wise the older he got the worse he got. It was scary

Lost my oldest son to suicide about a month after his first girlfriend died of an asthma attack. Became a counselor, re-prioritized parenting goals for three younger sons.

My dad died by suicide when I was a preteen. Every bit of my parenting is touched by that. His tendencies started as a kid and I think Im always considering everything through that lens

I made an attempt at 15 and I never want my child to experience that despair. I make sure they know how important, special and loved they are.

My biggest goal is literally for my kids not to need to spend most of their adult life “recovering” from their childhood.

After my nd childs attempt, all priorities changed. Focus of connection and emotional safety above all else. I share my struggles and wins with my 4 kids and their friends so they can learn by example

I absolutely parent from a place of protecting my son’s mental health. I have lost loved ones to unaliving. I’m under no illusion about the toll neurodivergence takes on a person in a neurotypical 🌎

I think my trauma strengthens my patience in parenting. it's a brace I wear. I feel it sometimes in moments that get tough and it provides a second wind.

I've had friends attempt suicide and self harm. Mainstream school was traumatising for my sons so deregistered and home educate them. They are mentally, emotionally, and physically healthier now.

Yes! And Yes! Absolutely every parenting choice I have made is with suicide my mind, we talk about it a lot. It is central to the demands placed on them and how we deal with all conflict in our home.

I have not. But my daughter became suicidal at age 7 due to autistic burnout and OCD and it made true priorities crystal clear.
