People have stolen about $17,000 from me because I am, as described by others, “naive” (gullible). Other things have been done to me as well, many being illegal. Someone who witnessed me being stolen from when I was 19 by some high schoolers reminded me of this incident, today. I didn’t even understand that what they were doing to me was wrong. I had completely forgotten that this happened. It has brought this pattern to my mind. I was born with Brain Damage and have a deformed skull & Autism. I assume this is part of why people prey on me. Have others here been taken advantage of?

Yes. I have ASD and ADHD but I truly believe my vulnerability comes from cPTSD. I never learned that I was worth anything, so I never even knew that what others was doing was wrong. When you grow up believing that you should apologize for existing it gets fuzzy where to set boundaries. Luckily there are good people too. They first pointed out all the messed up things I didn't even notice.

I have been taken advantage of off and on over the years. I have lost money and all sorts of things. Unfortunately it's really common with things like autism and adhd and even some brain injuries. It sucks and it hurts and its confusing. There are just some super crap people out in the world. That's how the elderly can get scammed from all their savings. Mean people suck
