World Suicide Prevention Day 10th September 2025

You Are Not Alone – Supporting Our Neurodiverse Community This World Suicide Prevention Day

As we approach World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10th, it’s a time for reflection, connection, and,  most importantly, support.

For many within the autistic and neurodiverse community, life can sometimes feel overwhelming. Whether it’s navigating a world that often misunderstands you, struggling with sensory overload, communication challenges, or just the everyday pressures that come with being different in a neurotypical world, it can feel lonely. And for some, those feelings can grow heavy.

But we want you to know this – YOU are not alone.

MAIN is Here for You

At MAIN, we understand how tough things can get. If you’re feeling low, anxious, or even suicidal, please remember that support is just a message, a conversation, or a safe space away.

Whether you need someone to talk to, a community that “gets it”, or simply a place where you can be yourself without judgment, we are here.

Join our MAIN CHAT online group – a supportive, understanding space where you can connect with others in the autistic and neurodiverse community. Sometimes, just chatting with someone who relates to your experiences can lift the weight.

Talk to someone you trust – a friend, family member, mentor, or support worker. Reaching out can feel scary, but it could be the step that helps lighten the load.

Access support through MAIN – our team is here to help. Whether you’re looking for advice, someone to listen, or pathways to mental health support, we’re here with open arms and open ears.

It’s OK to Not Be OK

If you’re struggling right now, please don’t feel like you have to hide it. Being part of the neurodiverse community doesn’t mean you have to carry the world on your shoulders. It’s okay to say, “I’m not okay.”

What matters is knowing there’s support around you – people who care, people who understand, people who want you to stay.

Let’s Keep the Conversation Going

This World Suicide Prevention Day, let’s come together and look out for each other. Start a conversation. Share a kind word. Check in on someone who might need it. Or simply let someone know they’re not alone.

Together, we can make a difference – one chat, one connection, one life at a time.
