Autism is not just an obstacle… it is a lifelong disadvantage in a world built for neurotypicals. Self-improvement has limits. You can work on yourself endlessly, but people still notice you’re different. Most will avoid you. The data on unemployment, loneliness, and suicide among autistic men shows this clearly. It’s not just bad luck… it’s how the system is built. A few outliers succeed, but they do not represent the majority. Society values what is useful and easy to digest. That is the truth, whether people want to admit it or not.

True, the NT-pill is ruthless. It's not only about missing on love, physical intimacy and sex but also not being able to cope well. Autists are unwanted in every job which has humane working conditions and salary above the minimum. Still they don't leave us alone and let us on disability pension, we're the modern slave-class for sexhavers so don't ever take their bluepills.

Brutal NTpill.

Alarmingly large unemployment gap despite of above-average education in adults with ASD without intellectual disability in Germany: a cross-sectional study - PubMed

For individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), both getting access to as well as staying in the labor market are very challenging. However, the detailed educational, vocational, and employment characteristics of persons with ASD without intellectual disabilities are not yet studied. We...

“Alarmingly large unemployment gap despite of above-average education in adults with ASD without intellectual disability in Germany” by Julia Espelöer et al. (2023):

Study Type

• Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study
• Sample: 232 adults in Germany
• Criteria: Late-diagnosed with ASD and no intellectual disability
• Comparison group: General German population (data from German Federal Employment Agency)

Key Findings
Education

• High school graduation + university entrance qualification:
  • ASD: 50.4%
  • General population: 32.5%
• Basic secondary education (lower level):
  • ASD: 16.5%
  • General population: 29.6%

Vocational Training

• ASD: 40.1%
• General population: 56.3%

Unemployment Rate

• ASD: 25.2%
• General population: 5.2%
  • => ASD unemployment is 5× higher, despite higher education levels

Unemployment Duration

• Average length: 23 months
  • These were unwanted, long-term periods without work.

Reason for Job Termination

• Main factor: Interpersonal difficulties
  • Suggests that social-communication issues, rather than qualifications or competence, are the barrier.

Interpretation

• A high level of education does not protect individuals with ASD from high unemployment risk.
• Social and interpersonal challenges related to autism significantly impact job acquisition and retention.
• There is a disconnect between educational success and labor market outcomes.

Authors’ Conclusion

• There is an urgent need to:
  • Create and expand autism-specific employment support programs
  • Increase awareness among employers and the public
  • Address the social barriers that uniquely affect this population

“Risk of Self-harm in Children and Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis” by Ashley Blanchard et al., published in JAMA Network Open (2021): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34665237/



Study Purpose:


To evaluate the risk of self-injurious behavior and suicidality in children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) using a systematic review and meta-analysis of epidemiologic studies.



Key Findings:

• Self-injurious behavior (non-suicidal self-harm) is 3.18 times more likely in individuals with ASD compared to those without ASD (pooled OR: 3.18; 95% CI: 2.45–4.12).
• Suicidality (including suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and suicide) is 3.32 times more likely in individuals with ASD (pooled OR: 3.32; 95% CI: 2.60–4.24).
• These elevated risks are consistent across age groups (children and adults) and across clinical and non-clinical settings.
• Data came from 31 moderate-to-high-quality studies, with broad geographic and demographic representation.

Conclusion:


People with ASD face significantly higher odds of both self-injury and suicidality. The findings underscore the urgent need for:

• Early screening in primary care
• Improved access to mental health services
• Interventions like lethal means counseling to reduce risk.

This 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis by Victoria Newell et al., published in Molecular Autism, provides a comprehensive synthesis of suicidality rates among autistic and possibly autistic individuals without co-occurring intellectual disability. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36922899/

Study Purpose


The study had three main goals:

1. Estimate pooled prevalence of suicidality (ideation, planning, attempts/behaviors) in autistic and possibly autistic individuals without intellectual disability.
2. Examine moderators (participant and study-level variables) that might explain differences in suicidality rates.
3. Evaluate the quality of the evidence.

Methods

Databases searched: PsycINFO, Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science (1992–Jan 25, 2022).

• Included: Quantitative studies reporting suicidal ideation, plans, and attempts/behaviors in relevant populations.
• Used random-effects meta-analysis due to high variability between studies.
• Included 36 studies with 48,186 participants.

Results


Pooled Prevalence Rates

Suicidal Ideation: 34.2% (95% CI: 27.9–40.5%)

• Suicide Plans: 21.9% (13.4–30.4%)
• Suicide Attempts/Behaviors: 24.3% (18.9–29.6%)

These rates are significantly higher than those typically found in the general population.



Heterogeneity

High heterogeneity in all categories (I² > 75%), indicating wide variation across studies.




Moderators

• Suicidal Ideation was significantly influenced by:
  • Geographic location (p = 0.005)
  • Type of reporting (self-report vs. clinical records) (p < 0.001)
• Suicide Plans were significantly moderated by:
  • Age group (p = 0.001)
  • Type of suicidality measure used (p = 0.001)
  • No moderators were significant for suicide attempts and behaviors.

Conclusions
Suicidality is alarmingly high in both autistic and possibly autistic people without intellectual disability.

• Possibly autistic individuals are an under-researched group that may have similarly elevated risks and should not be overlooked.
• Findings suggest urgent clinical and public health action is needed, especially for groups with intersecting vulnerabilities.
