What was causing the inflammation is hard.
But clearly, neurodivergent children, there is a sort of difference in this brain-body profile that predisposes to certain strengths but also certain challenges.
I think that suicide is a very complicated thing to try and predict.
But we know that autistic people, ADHD people are more likely to die by suicide than others.
And I wouldn't want to say one thing.
I think it's an intersection of a number of factors, but that type of emotion regulation difficulty could be a factor.
It could be in a sort of intersecting storm
it could be a trigger.
I don't think that's, I wouldn't want to catastrophize, but I think appreciating the degree of difficulty that some people experience with that, this profound feeling of dysphoria, dysphoria shouldn't be underestimated and its impact.
Well, there are an awful lot of awful statistics about autism and women and also, you know, well, as I said, autism and ADHD, unfortunately more likely to die by suicide, also reduced life expectancy.
We were talking about vulnerability.
I remember reading a really horrible article
french paper um or paper that was written by some french scientists showing that autistic women the majority of them had been uh subject to some form of um interpersonal violence um that that there is this relationship between neurodivergence and trauma but i think
I hope that there are...
But that is not the answer.
I mean, and that there are, that the more we understand about the neurodivergent brain body, about its challenges, but also its strengths, we can make a difference to people's experiences.
And that is, you know, we were talking about, you know, desire for change that I think is a cause for hope.
For that it is neurodivergence is a complicated experience that it is ultimately so many paradoxes
that there is terrible pain, but there can also be, you know, pleasure associated with neurodivergence.
In our last, when I spoke to you last on the previous podcast, we talked about the sort of joy of neurodivergent on neurodivergent conversation, that sort of mental dancing.
