Neal Tricarico: Autistic Teens Are 30% More Likely to Die by Suicide | DSH #1759

And I'd maybe pose it back as a question to you because I don't know because I didn't live his life and it was such a struggle for me.

Digital Social Hour
Neal Tricarico: Autistic Teens Are 30% More Likely to Die by Suicide | DSH #1759

But I guess the question that comes from it for me is it ultimately better to appear to be emotionally connected or might it be better to appear...

Digital Social Hour
Neal Tricarico: Autistic Teens Are 30% More Likely to Die by Suicide | DSH #1759

as you are in your most authentic, real way, that emotion isn't a part of your makeup and other things are?

Digital Social Hour
Neal Tricarico: Autistic Teens Are 30% More Likely to Die by Suicide | DSH #1759

Yeah, my gut is the latter.

Digital Social Hour
Neal Tricarico: Autistic Teens Are 30% More Likely to Die by Suicide | DSH #1759

Yeah, me too.

Digital Social Hour
Neal Tricarico: Autistic Teens Are 30% More Likely to Die by Suicide | DSH #1759

And that's what I love about you and your show.

Digital Social Hour
Neal Tricarico: Autistic Teens Are 30% More Likely to Die by Suicide | DSH #1759

And I think it's a really interesting question we should explore with you and others like you, because I've seen the impact of

Digital Social Hour
Neal Tricarico: Autistic Teens Are 30% More Likely to Die by Suicide | DSH #1759

how hard he masked.

Digital Social Hour
Neal Tricarico: Autistic Teens Are 30% More Likely to Die by Suicide | DSH #1759

I mean, he took his life.

Digital Social Hour
Neal Tricarico: Autistic Teens Are 30% More Likely to Die by Suicide | DSH #1759

Now, I wonder if he got through this critical period, might that help him in later years?

Digital Social Hour
Neal Tricarico: Autistic Teens Are 30% More Likely to Die by Suicide | DSH #1759

But in some ways, it's not being true to yourself, right?

Digital Social Hour
Neal Tricarico: Autistic Teens Are 30% More Likely to Die by Suicide | DSH #1759

We want to transcend trying to fit in to being acknowledged and accepted.

Digital Social Hour
Neal Tricarico: Autistic Teens Are 30% More Likely to Die by Suicide | DSH #1759

So as I sit here, but not living in your shoes or his shoes,

Digital Social Hour
Neal Tricarico: Autistic Teens Are 30% More Likely to Die by Suicide | DSH #1759

And my opinion would be that we should be authentic.

Digital Social Hour
Neal Tricarico: Autistic Teens Are 30% More Likely to Die by Suicide | DSH #1759

And those of us that are emotional and are looking for that emotional connection should look to accept for people how and where they are and try and find that connection point.

And as we're sharing this, it makes me think about just how hard it was to connect with Anthony because being vulnerable and real is I'm a very, he's authentic too, but a very emotional person.

Digital Social Hour
Neal Tricarico: Autistic Teens Are 30% More Likely to Die by Suicide | DSH #1759

So I was trying to

Digital Social Hour
Neal Tricarico: Autistic Teens Are 30% More Likely to Die by Suicide | DSH #1759

impart or ingrain that emotional connection, whereas in hindsight, I maybe could have done a better job of letting that go and trying to find what was his juice.

Digital Social Hour
Neal Tricarico: Autistic Teens Are 30% More Likely to Die by Suicide | DSH #1759

Yes, that's right.

Digital Social Hour
Neal Tricarico: Autistic Teens Are 30% More Likely to Die by Suicide | DSH #1759

That's right.
