Emily, 19

Emily was diagnosed with high functioning autism and worked hard to get through life, gaining qualifications, doing an apprenticeship and working in a local pub.

She had wanted to go for a drive the morning she died, but was unable to due to the COVID restrictions that were coming back in.

The fear that she would lose the new found freedoms and routines that helped her handle her autism filled up her stress bucket and she could no longer cope with life.
