His twin sister, Danielle, who is also autistic, was bullied by classmates and became suicidal. | | | | |  Life-saving opportunities to prevent suicide among autistic people are being missed because systemic barriers make it difficult for them to access NHS support during times of mental health crisis, according to new research. | |
