Denmark study identifies psychiatric comorbidities as major contributor
A retrospective cohort study from Denmark found that individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) had a higher rate of suicide and suicide attempts than those without ASD and psychiatric comorbidities were a major contributing factor, researchers found.

ExoCube 2 is a CubeSat device, a nanosatellite that was built over several years by a group of 50 Cal Poly students.
The ExoCube 2 will be launched between 7 to 10 a.m. Wednesday alongside nine other tiny, NASA-sponsored satellites on the space agency’s next Educational Launch of Nanosatellites mission, or ELaNa for short. ELaNa is an initiative created by NASA that intends to attract and retain students in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines.
People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) carry a higher risk for suicide, a Danish study found.

Although higher rates of suicide attempt were noted across all age groups, women with autism appeared to be disproportionately affected, with a more than four-fold higher rate of suicide attempt compared with men (aIRR 4.41, 95% CI 3.74-5.19).
