Background: Research indicates that sexual violence affects about 30% of women in the general population and between two to three times as much for autistic women.
Materials And Methods: We investigated prevalence of sexual abuse, autistic traits and a range of symptoms, using an online survey addressed to the women of the French autistic community ( = 225). We assessed victimization through an open question and through a specific questionnaire, derived from the Sexual Experiences Survey-Short Form Victimization.
