Assessment of suicide risk in adolescents and young adults with ASDs 

Our goal is to further understand how suicidal thoughts and behaviors may be perceived and understood differently by adolescents and young adults with ASDs who are receiving psychiatric care.  Focus is on how providers may need to modify traditional assessments of suicidality to relate to the unique social and communication needs to those with ASDs.
