Basically, Aspies are dying 18 years or more younger then the "Average" person. High-Function people with ASD are 9 times more likely to commit suicide than the average person.
The answer for a lot of this is fairly simple: We're Lonely, Godamnit.
For some reason people don't get it. People with ASD aren't like Sociopaths, without emotion. We HAVE emotion. Some of us just have a hard time displaying it, or interpreting others emotions. Many of us might just be extremely lonely people but otherwise fairly normal. Aspies still need Normal human things, like contact.
