The researchers found that 66% of participants with Asperger's reported suicidal ideation, compared with only 17% of the general population and 59% of patients with psychosis.

Asperger's patients with a history of depression were four times more likely to have suicidal thoughts and twice as likely to plan or attempt suicide than those without a history of depression, according to the researchers.

In detail, the team found that 66% of patients with Asperger's had thought about committing suicide and of these, 35% had planned or attempted suicide during their lifetime.
