1. Raise awareness of the increased suicide risk within the autistic community. 

2. Identify gaps in research and practice. 

3. Identify solutions and a course of action to reduce suicide behaviour and death by suicide within the autistic community. 

This document represents a call to action for international governments and instrumentalities to take a position of leadership and address the problem of suicide and suicide associated distress within the autistic community.
