Don't like to be touched

Rashford

When I've had a heated argument with a loved one, I don't like to be touched for maybe a week after.

Does anyone else feel or act like this? Do you think this is due to being on the spectrum?

  • i haven't hugged anyone in my family since i can remember. i'm 65. but i can hug total strangers, sometimes. it helps if they're female and somewhat attractive. i think i kind of mix up sexual attraction and emotional intimacy, sometimes. anyone else? this would seem to me to be a problem endemic to aspieness. i can't figure those things out. they're kind of mixed up. i figure that's asd related, lack of emotional maturity, lack of empathy. all CLEARLY asd related, in my book.

    if i smoke cannabis, i can become more empathetic and vulnerable.

    i hug about a quarter of a person a year, or 1 person every four years. or two people every eight.
