Don't like to be touched

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?

  • For me touching is strange.

    In my family we never really touched as children, it was mostly physical violence.  I expect other people/families have had very different experiences, so touching may seem natural.

    The exception was my pet cats, they enjoyed being touched and stroked.  And I found their touch and cuddle to be very relaxing.
