Re: I send nudes and then got blocked
Hi @Annahahahh I am truly sorry that happened to you. Your fears and worries and completely valid, but you are not alone and there are people out there who can help you. I am pleased that you did try to contact the police, even though they we not helpful its good that you felt like you could go to them. @AislingDM is making very good suggestions and they are right, sharing someone else nudes online is illegal, so you at least have some legal proection.
Something that might be helpful once you are in a better mind frame would be to speak to someone about why when you are in self destruct mode you behave in this way. It does not seem like a healthy coping mechanism, and has the potential to be dangerous for you. Talking to someone about it might help you realise why you do this and help you to be sexually active but in a healthier, safer less destructive way.

Advice for university
Hey guys, I am going to university soon and it will be the first time I spend a long time, alone, away from my family 
. I wouldn't say that I am nervous yet because things tend to become real for me a lot slower than it does for other people but I am still in need of some advice about going to university for the first time. The thing is I don't really feel like I am going to go because the end of my last year in 6th form was really rushed, we just did exams and then left. No goodbye. No send off. It was just like "okay see ya! good luck with your life" so it doesn't feel like it has ended but it has which is no fault of their own because, ya know the pandemic!!! But yeah I just don't know if I feel excited or nervous because it doesn't feel real.
But yeah if anyone has advice for me on what I should do before and when I get to uni, how to make friends when I get there, how to approach lectures and independent study etc. Any advice you have would be great and accepted here. And hey maybe others who are worried about university can find some good advice here.
(My thoughts are really jumbled so if this is hard to read, I am sorry

)Autism Awareness Survey
I have recieved permission from @TheMix to post this survey on here. I have made a survey for some Citizenship Coursework that I need to do for school which will help me with my research. This survey is anonymous and confidential. Your responses will only be used for helping me with my coursework. Please do not feel like you have to do this. It is completely optional but it would really help me. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdf-Mc1DmWWaVOov5n6ZcXoAuSGuYypv_shRoZbEXsmAtWCxg/viewform?usp=sf_link
