I am afraid of heights, certainly. I don`t see why that would necessarily go hand in hand with autism. An awful lot of people are afraid of heights.
Funny thing about it, though. For me it's primarily a matter of not trusting spindly looking structures. For example, I would be very nervous standing on the ground near one of those tall radio towers for fear that it will fall on me. Not as nervous as I would be climbing the thing of course.

I have a fear of heights I feel like I'm going to throw myself off of the edge. It's also activated when I look up at tall things. My friend is also like this.
Yep, this as well. I have control over suicidal ideation now, for the most part, but putting myself in a position where it would be very easy to toss myself over the side.... that is a concern. It's best if I avoid the temptation and stay away from such scenarios.
