Putting suicidality in patients with autism on the radar.

[Columbia Psychiatry @ColumbiaPsych]

“Until very recently, we didn’t expect to see it, so we didn’t see suicidality in patients with [autism]; it just wasn’t on our radar... This is an urgent & obvious area for further research to try to prevent what we now recognize,” says @ColumbiaPsych's Dr. Veenstra-VanderWeele.

@AliMattu thanks for reminding us of Mr. Rogers timeless wisdom and his cardigan sweaters 😀 https://t.co/Pki4wo3xfD

Things I learned from Mister Rogers:

1. Be a nice person who cares about other people.
2. Play is an important part of how kids learn.
3. When you are scared, look for the helpers.
4. Cardigans are awesome and timeless.
