This study leveraged anonymous self\u2010report data to identify correlates of suicidal thoughts among 365 young users (aged approximately 11\u201325\u2009years) of a mental health app in the United Kingdom with an autism diagnosis or self\u2010identifying as autistic. The presence of suicidal thoughts was assessed as a binary item. Binary logistic regression was used to explore correlates of suicidal thoughts across three domains: mental health\u2010related symptoms, autism\u2010related factors, and adverse life events\/experiences. The final model included all significant correlates from domain\u2010specific models alongside demographic factors. Suicidal thoughts were reported by 63% of participants, with similar rates across age groups. The final model accounted for nearly 50% of variability in the presence of suicidal thoughts (\n                    <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    <jats:sub>Nagelkerke<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.48,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Self\u2010harm and depression showed the strongest positive associations (odds ratio, OR and [95% confidence interval]\u2009=\u20096.41 [3.62, 11.35] and 4.58 [2.51, 8.35], respectively), followed by a history of physical abuse (OR\u2009=\u20093.01 [1.20, 7.56]) and a transgender\/gender\u2010diverse identity (OR\u2009=\u20092.13 [1.11, 4.10]). Personal use of the term \u201cneurodiversity\u201d was associated with a lower likelihood of suicidal thoughts (OR\u2009=\u20090.45 [0.24, 0.83]). These findings contribute to evidence of high rates of suicidal thoughts among young autistic people and associations with self\u2010harm, depression, a history of abuse, and a gender minority identity. Self\u2010identification with the term neurodiversity emerged as a potential protective factor, although this novel finding warrants further research. Overall, this study highlights the importance of access to autism\u2010adapted mental health care, addressing trauma and identity\u2010related stressors, and fostering belonging and connection as part of comprehensive suicide prevention strategies for autistic youth.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/aur.70251","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,15]],"date-time":"2026-04-15T14:01:42Z","timestamp":1776261702000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Occurrence and Correlates of Suicidal Thoughts Among Young Autistic Users of a Mental Health App"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1266-6697","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"T.
