I missed the blog, too. My son went through something similar, as many Aspies do, altho my son wasn't admitted. But I remember how scarey it was knowing he was having such horrible thoughts like that.
Right now my son is overwhelmed and scared about me going on O2, so I'm trying to decide whether to ask him to reach out to Zach or not. On one hand it would get my son's mind off himself and me, but on the other hand I don't want too much more weighing my son down as he seems kind of unstable at the moment.
Either way, I can send a card off to Zach and maybe I can PM Mary that I've been through this myself.
Thanks for the heads up, we need to know this to support them.
