Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Autistic people experience higher risk of suicidal ideation (SI) and suicide attempts (SA) compared to non-autistic people, yet there is limited understanding of complex, multilevel factors that drive this disparity. Further, determinants of mental health service receipt among this population are unknown. This study will identify socioecological factors associated with increased risk of SI and SA for autistic people and evaluate determinants of mental health care receipt.
