It is necessary to think of prevention and protection measures that serve to reduce the risk of suicide, taking into account factors related to the social, local, family and, of course, individual situation of each person. Prevention can be articulated at multiple levels, and requires the commitment of all social actors (administrative, health, educational, family) and the active participation of people with autism.

In general, it is important to develop educational and training plans through institutions and the media, to raise awareness about suicide, with the aim of informing as many people as possible about such a relevant issue.

Some measures to increase the life expectancy and quality of life of people with autism are:

• INCREASE SOCIAL RESOURCES.
• ADAPT THE ENVIRONMENTS.
• FACILITATE SOCIAL INTERACTION.
• TRAIN PROFESSIONALS TO ENABLE EARLY DETECTION OF AUTISM.
• SUPPORT IN IDENTITY FORMATION.
• DETECTION OF OTHER MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS.
