Trigger warning: this post deals with child sexual abuse and may be distressing for some readers.
Taylor didn’t want to lose her only friend, Tom. She was a girl with Asperge’s syndrome, not yet 13.
Never mind Tom was a paedophile.
He was a man that worked for her trust. Cooked her meals while her mother was absent. Asked her about her day. Sat on her bed and talked to her as she fell asleep.
Then he kissed her. She thought they were in a relationship. They would often sit on the couch, he touching her genitals under a blanket.
When she was 11, he raped her in her mother’s bed.
“I didn’t know what he was doing when he turned me over and lay on top of me,” Taylor, now 22, has written in her book I know what you are. “I had read enough about sex by that time to have a vague idea of what was involved, and I was pretty sure he hadn’t put his penis where it was supposed to go.”

I don't understand how a 12 year old autistic girl was going to parties with 25 year old men. Where was her mother in all this?
Umm, don't you mean: 'where were her parents?'
Exactly where were her parents? Poor girl. What a horrible start to life. I pray she has found a happy life now.
And her father?
Or her father, grandparents, anyone else who should have cared.
