Austistics and Sexual Abuse

[NeedsAnswersQuick]

How do I know if my autistic sibling is being sexually abused? A couple of years ago, my little sister- who suffers from moderate autisim- claimed that our cousin molested her. I believe that it is true, but she shows no classic signs. My aunt did not want to face it and drilled my sister until she told her that she was lying. The thing with my sister is, she wants very much to please people and if that means bending the truth because someone doesn't want to hear it, she will. So, how do I know if she is being sexually abused?

It would be a good idea for your Mom to take her to the Doctor and ask him then get an evaluation done,it is always good to believ e  the child and check out the facts, make sure she is never left alone with the cousin, there are ways a counsellor will ask specific questions and know by the answers ,if you beleive as you have said that it is true you need to protect your sister ,find out what the abuse consisted of,it is possible the Counsellor would know how to do this so not to cause your sister any more Trauma.What do your parents say to this how have they reacted , it seems they should be very concerned.
