I think it's truly a gift to be where others can relate and where you are safe. I'm sure you will see this too, as you look around.

It takes courage to reach out and courage to join. I hope it is one of many steps forward you will taking on this healing journey.

Welcome @jellybean1982  to After Silence.  I’m sorry for what brought you here but I’m happy you are here reaching out for support.  Good job taking this step in your healing process.  You are not alone and what happened to you wasn’t your fault. 

I'm autistic so you're not the only one here with a disability.  In fact we even have a Disabled Survivors Discussion Board which I will link below.

Take your time exploring here and post when you are ready.  You can PM me if you have any questions about navigating the site or anything else.
