Highlights We reviewed primary research on suicidal behaviour among young people, < 25 years, with ASD. Four papers reported primary data on suicidal behaviour in young people with ASD. Prevalence of suicidal behaviour among young people with ASD ranges from 7 to 42%. Depression and abuse are risk factors for suicidal behaviour in this population.
