The suicide equation
1. The suicide equation, for those with alcohol related developmental
disabilities.
Prenatal alcohol [+ preconceptual alcohol?] + Stuck-In-Set
Perseveration = Suicide
Prenatal alcohol [+ preconceptual alcohol?] + Mindfulness = No
Suicide.
It is my observation that those with FASD exist in two states,
1 -a mind of chaotic, uncontrolled and uncomfortable thoughts, usually
described as being bored.
2- a mind perseverating [ super focused ], with or without physical
activity.
They seek the second to escape the first.
What they perseverate on is determined by their particular set of
cognitive, emotional, information processing, memory, expressive and
sensory disabilities; as well as their early childhood experience and their
immediate environment, including how others relate to them.
What they may perseverate on to soothe themselves extends from
cutting, provoking others, playing with fire and other criminal activities
to more acceptable behaviours, such as playing video games, reading
and sports.

“Being bored- it is a state of restless irritable discontent that also
manifests physically. Heart rate goes up, cannot be still, I usually pace, I
can’t focus. I feel impending doom.
It is worst that being angry”.
"this feels VERY uncomfortable when someone or the environment tries
to distract me
from my perseveration”.
“Bored a lot, more thoughts, not nice, better with alcohol.
Bored is worse than being angry”.
After Mindfulness training “Perseveration can at times be a gift from
the universe to FASD people.
Perseveration can also be our worst enemy. The key is to understand our
brain and how
we can use it to our advantage”.

3. “My life I no longer love I’d rather be set free above
Get it over with while the time is right Late some rainy night
Turn black as the night and cold as the sea Say goodbye to Ashley
Miss me but don’t be sad
I’m free, where I want to be
No more caged up Ashley Wishing I were free
Free like a bird”
