Female Asperger's was Sexually Abused

Post a new topicby gabby on Sat Aug 08, 2009 11:26 pm

I'm a female Aspie. Diagnosed at age 16. Now 21. I was sexually abused/raped when I was 17 and again last year. I am having trouble dealing with the sexual abuse and feel so ashamed and think it was my fault cause of the Asperger's. I haven't told my family for fear of them judging me. My question is how can I get past the sexual abuse.

Hi! You are not alone! I started a group for single women with AS a couple of years a go. It is on Yahoo. Do you want the link?

Do you have private computer access? Are you safe now?
