The story
Back in 2018 I was dating this guy he was 2 years above me in high school I was 12 and he was 14 and things were going really well between us I really loved him (so I thought)looking back on it now it wasn’t love, so after a couple of weeks he introduced me to sexting and I just thought it was a game, but then it turned into weekly games and then touching was creeping its way into it, he kept touching me and I told him to stop it but he carried it on anyway on multiple occasions, at this point it had been going on for over 2 months but then it took a toll and he then started blackmailing me saying if I told anyone what he did he would leak my nudes to my family and friends and completely embarrass me , it was Christmas time 2018 and i caught him cheating on me and he ended things because he didn’t like me no more, at this point i was sobbing my heart out and then in January 2019 i finally broke down in tears in front of my mum and i told her what happened, we went to the police station and told them what happened and they said unfortunately we can’t do nothing more because he is autistic and you haven’t got enough evidence, from that day on I could still feel his hands on me in the shower, in bed, out in public I hated it, I went to this place called RASA they help you with ptsd from r@pe and trauma abuse, yes I got the help I needed but it still haunts me every single day and I still get nightmares and flashbacks because even tho it was a long time ago it never goes away, but one thing I really wish I had done is, I found the clothes I was wearing each time it happened and I wish I had took them to the police station and then maybe I would have gotten my justice

Points of view
I appreciate your courage in sharing such a deeply personal and painful story. However, it's essential to consider all perspectives; while the details of your experience are heart-wrenching, the narrative may not fully encapsulate all dimensions of the parties involved. In my opinion, it's crucial to understand that individuals with autism can have varied levels of awareness and responsibility, which requires a nuanced approach in addressing such situations. As someone who has worked with many families facing challenging circumstances, I've observed that healing involves multiple layers, including therapy and support networks. It is positive that you sought solace in RASA, an avenue many find beneficial when navigating trauma. Please remember, the journey to recovery is ongoing, and though it feels insurmountable at times, there is always hope for a future of peace and resilience.
Firstly, I just want to say that sharing something like this takes guts. I hear where you're coming from, but there are a few things to think about; maybe this situation calls for understanding all angles. For instance, being "autistic” doesn't mean someone isn't accountable for actions, but it can change how situations are handled. From what I've seen in my own circle, people sometimes jump to conclusions fast. It's crucial to lean on support systems while working through trauma, and it's awesome you got help from RASA. I know it's been a tough ride, but hang in there. Like they say, "time heals all wounds," and though things feel intense now, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep pushing forward, and brighter days will come. 🌟
