A light blue background with grey borders surrounds a light green background with green quotation marks at the top. Navy text reads, "Neurodivergent girls are more likely isolated or naïve and lack the kind of information commonly shared among a friend group about sexuality. This combination of the normal desire for a relationship, naïveté, and lack of experience is a perfect set up for being abused." Attributed to Dr. Marcia Eckerd.
