I would want the suicide option if I am terminal with no known way of avoiding an exceedingly painful and or miserable death. A lot of times it is other humans intervening and preventing what mother nature wants to do.

I do think most Autistic suicide ideation is preventable and treatable. Internalized ableism is a very large factor in my opinion.

As I have mentioned before the physician-assisted suicide laws for autistics in places like Holland is consumer eugenics.
