TL;DR: Results suggest that camouflaging autistic traits is associated with increased risk of experiencing thwarted belongingness and lifetime suicidality.

TL;DR: Results suggest that the IPTS provides a useful framework for understanding the influence of autistic traits on suicidal behavior, however, the psychometric properties of these measures need be explored in those with clinically confirmed diagnosis of ASC.

TL;DR: Whether the Interpersonal Theory of suicide informs the understanding of high rates of suicidality in autistic adults is explored and how self-worth and social inclusion are experienced and expressed by autistic people is explored.

TL;DR: Young people with subclinical psychotic experiences and all patients with FEP should be screened for autism spectrum traits, which may have significant impact on clinical outcomes, and tailored interventions for patients with high levels of autistic spectrum co-morbidities in F EP should be a priority for future research.

TL;DR: Scores on the INQ-10 cannot be meaningfully compared between autistic and non-autistic people due to different measurement properties, and future research could explore how autistic people experience the concepts of burdensomeness and belonging, to consider how measures could accurately capture this.
