I’m a 54 year male, late diagnosed ASD and would welcome thoughts from forum members on the subject of greetings and farewells – to kiss or not to kiss?
This is something that I have long felt slightly awkward & unsure about, but have tended to go in for a nice squeezy hug and peck on the head or cheek with female friends (sometimes the same with male friends).
I have a limited number of friends, with perhaps five or six close friends with whom I share a high level of trust. My greetings and goodbyes with these individuals are typically sincere and meaningful, and they provide me with considerable comfort.
I would be interested to hear about the approaches others take in similar social situations. Currently, I am navigating a particular circumstance related to this topic, which is prompting this inquiry. I will provide additional details later once I have gathered some perspectives from this discussion.
So, what do you tend to do in such situations?
