Group hug….with the advantage that we don’t have to ACTUALLY hug……

Kate Kestrel

Hi people Slight smile

Just thinking about how amazing everyone is on here, how generous spirited and kind everyone is, and how amazingly strong autistic people have to be to get through life. 
So I wanted to express that - with a virtual group hug xoxoxox

sending peace, love and light to any autistic person out there who wants or needs it x

    Hi Shardovan - you are very very welcome :) 

    I think so many of the comments on here feel like a virtual hug - so I thought a hug in return seemed like a good idea. 

    I’m sorry that hugs are rare in your life, I know what that’s like because when I was growing up my family didn’t do hugs or physical affection. I was not great at being tactile with other people as a result but I was very lucky to meet my husband and then I made up for all those years of no hugs :) 

    Thankfully it’s never too late to start! 

    Hope you have a good day. x

    The hug is really sweet of you, Kate. They're an incredibly rare event in my life, virtual or otherwise. So to feel included in this one is really nice, and I'm unexpectedly moved by it. I think I needed it more than I realised!
