Sir Simon Baron-Cohen is one of the world’s leading researchers into autism.
He has been lobbying successive UK governments to address the alarming’ rate of suicide among autistic people.
Yet, despite his efforts, it was only last year that autism was finally named as a high-risk factor in the UK 's official Suicide Prevention Strategy .
Simon Baron-Cohen first became involved with autism research in 1981 .
He grew up in a Jewish family in Golders Green , north-west London .
His sister Suzie was born with Sturge Weber ’s Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder.
He has linked growing up with his sister to his interest in people “who think or develop differently”.
Autistic people are generally not enjoying school’, he says, adding there are “high rates of dropping out, poor mental health in their teens and before, and anecdotally are underachieving” Baron-Cohen’s research on high rates of autism in transgender and gender diverse people quoted approvingly in last month's Cass Review of gender identity services.
