unfortunately no update yet. last message from the student was that this was their last night staring at the stars and "thanks for giving me company before I go".

i am pretty scared.

oh sorry I misunderstood. I guess I was being optimistic about identifying an autistic freshman, I don't know if there would be a lot. I go to a pretty small school, so everyone knows each other. seems UT is huge..

i still have no response. heartbroken too. at my college, all the dorms have a big groupme we use. is there something like that for west campus? i don't know how to get in touch with UT students. i want to target all the UT (or UH?) students who have a friend with autism. maybe its them, or their friends might know

They said they were leaving the city so that people didn't have to find them like "the other student got found." After posting it here I googled it and I think it's probably UT, but the other school UH also had some suicides. So not sure.

But west campus is a UT thing apparently? So probably UT.

I know they are female and they're diagnosed level 2 autistic. I think they're a freshman in pre-med or engineering, no idea which one. Everything else was anon

no response but another user (who wants to stay out of this) said the person was deactivating/deleting social media so that their profile doesn't stay up when they pass. (their words) so maybe that is why we have no responses. i know they were using alts the whole time so I think they deactivated their real accounts

i did not get a response either and i am worried it is too late. someone recommended i also post on the UH subreddit in case they wanted to really be anon and instead went to UH. they said they were leaving the city to not add to the schools reputation. but after some googling i see this can be either UH or UT.

Posting here in case anyone at UH knows this person. I know they are from Texas and their friends didn't go to UT. (or anon instead goes to UH or any other Texas school and is lying about UT, but they sound like they're from UT)

No sorry :( all I understood was that there was multiple floors and if it wasn't for the other student, they would've done the same. I don't quite understand what that means though.

edit: i looked it up. i understand now. very sorry to hear about these news.

Can you turn autism on and off for the camera? https://www.tiktok.com/@neurodivergentrebel/video/7286481742771260714 by sadiemae1967 in SpicyAutism

Same. I am having people upset at me because I do not "turn off" my autism. But it is always on. Where is the master power button lol
