This was mentioned by the assessor at my 3rd ASD assessment. I confess to being puzzled about it. We were all sitting in chairs quite close to each other so I can’t see how I could have avoided doing so if how close you are to someone dictates it. That is not to say I am a good judge of what’s appropriate re personal space. I may be poor at it . I just can’t see how I could have avoided doing so in the situation I’ve described.
Sounds like a stupid question from the assessor. Personally, I hate people being close to me with their breathing, farting, shuffling, fidgeting, sniffing, smells, and generally just them being there. If they're close enough to touch me, they're too close.
Completely agree. I live in a co-living community which is great because we have events such as coffee mornings - what is not so great is that I have to share a kitchen and I hate it when my "neighbour" is in there - thumping about right outside my door.
