Thankfully the doctors will know to put “AUTISM” on your death certificate.
gathering public health data is not looking over someone’s twitter to guess if they were a fag. the dead can’t answer demographic surveys.
i am the person who gathers public health data. patients of my job are probably the single most likely group to commit suicide of any intersecting demographics (for example, you must be an unemployed man to be a patient there.) when they admit into the facility they are asked about their sexuality and about even more seemingly unrelated stuff such as are they a twin, are their parents divorced, which is their dominant hand, etc. then the state collects this data from us and this is where the research comes from. it’s not just answering a random phone survey, all this data collection comes from accredited medical facilities if it is reputable data (which is a different discussion entirely). the patients do sometimes unfortunately commit suicide and if they do then the county coroner’s office notifies us so we can also provide suicide statistics to the state.
