(am I doing this for Me, or for the future?)
Where in the hell is the autopsy report drawing the conclusion that her brain was ravaged by ANY disorder or even maybe Addiction perhaps?
Poor spokeswomanship, and poor or misinformed family attitude.
I was upset when hearing about this at first, and am Sorry for Nikki that she did it, but on second look now I am again outraged by the media and the misinformation they spread.

She quietly and peacefully committed suicide to escape the ravages to her brain brought on by Asperger's
grrr!
That is very offensive. I'm autistic and I nearly committed suicide once, but that was because people were treating me like ***, not because my mind was "ravaged." I think she may have committed suicide for the same reason that I nearly committed suicide.

Same reason. But I became very angry rather than depressed. Not a very good topic to talk about it tends to precipitate the very problem.
Warning: If you or know of anyone contemplating suicide, for your relations, friends, children and companions sake get help.
What do you mean by "precipitating" the problem? You got me confused there.
many a time I've got very close to doing this and I tend to think of plans as often as I eat ,but the moment I saw this article it seriously upset me.
its media like this that causes the outlooks which lead to bullying and pain that can lead to such things.
I consider myself to be imprisoned with in my differently-wired brain.the only way out is suicide or death. Acceptance of Aspergers does help, but like so many other people, the loneliness sometimes becomes to much.
I have tried to take part here. But it seems my thoughts are not even valid here. To be rejected time and time again can become a little much.
I can understand the suicide of others. There is only so much dissapointment and heartache one can take.
So I will just trudge on with hopes that someone ,somewhere will accept me. there is really only so much rejection a person can take though.

Lemme guess. You were bullied because you're an Aspie? My reason for living is to advocate for autistics so that, eventually, the kind of abuse that I've had will be a thing of the past.

my mother and I had a talk after seeing a film ben x that was very close to some things that have happened to be.she told me I needed to live so little kids with asd beign born right now would have someone to try and change their lifes for the better and do what you just explained.I want that abuse to be a thing of the past too.
Dorian Gray, I am glad to see that we want the same thing for future autistics. But it would be unrealistic to expect any results overnight. You know about the black civil rights movement? Statistics say that black people get paid less than white people right now and some people still have racial prejudices towards black people. In some cases, people are denied jobs just because they're black. So it's not complete. And you want to know how long ago it started? More than 200 years ago with the abolitionists advocating for the black person's right to not be enslaved. And they still don't have all the rights they deserve. Life isn't fair.
I would'nt expect it to but I'd like to try and even just help one kid.even if its just my brother that is getting a place in a school with an aspergers base after my parents saw how high school is for me.
I don't expect a drastic change would happen but I don't want to sit here and let other kids go through things.
I want to do my part to try and help I mean.
That reminds me of a parable I read. This guy sees another guy throwing starfish into the ocean to save them. The first guy says, "Why are you wasting time on those starfish? You can't really make a difference because you can't save all of them." As the second guy says as he's throwing a starfish into the ocean, "It made a difference for that starfish." You can make a difference just by playing a small part. It only takes a snowflake to start an avalanche.
What do you mean by "precipitating" the problem? You got me confused there.
"Precipitate the problem", Precipitate = the end product, means someone who is depressed may in fact, if reading about suicide, may try it for real. This is the danger of discussing about it.

Doesn't sound too good there. So long as you have made a serious attempt to change your outlook on various matters which are best left unsaid, your contributions are welcome in my book.

Aah. I see now. Well, I don't really have a good attitude towards suicide. There's this awesome movie called It's a Wonderful Life. In the movie, George Bailey has never gotten a chance to follow his dreams because he has selflessly sacrificed a lot of things to make sure Potter doesn't end up in control of everything. As a result, he is suicidal. An angel is sent down to keep him from committing suicide. After George jumps in to save the angel and they are pulled out and put in dry clothes, George wishes he was never born. The angel grants the wish and George finds out that every person his life touched has been affected negatively by his never being born. The message is that suicide is never the answer.
