Last month, The Endurant Movement and its founders, Neal and Samara Tricarico, were featured on the front page of the Los Angeles Times, sharing Ant’s story and why this conversation can’t wait. Their courage is opening up a truth most families are never told: autistic kids face a much higher risk of su***de, and too many are carrying that weight quietly.
Losing their son to su***de changed every part of Neal and Samara’s lives. By honoring Ant through The Endurant Movement, they’re turning heartbreak into a lifeline—creating spaces where kids feel seen, understood, and reminded that their lives matter.
If this hits close to home—as a parent, educator, clinician, or friend—please know you’re not alone. Your care, your questions, and your voice are part of what makes this movement real.
