over smelling

Hi

I dont know if I'm posting this in the right section as I;m new to this but really wanted to ask other members of their experience. My son is 15 and a real great kid, full of humour. We have a great bond although testing at times.

He is diagnosed with Aspergers, OCD and auditory processing and anxiety.

It isnt really a problem as such but my son constantly wants to smell me and my husband, even his sister but mainly me. He almost cuddles like a cat. Although we all for cuddles other people find it odd and Im worried about this as he is doing it more. I know he feels safe and reasurred when he does this but just wondered had anyone else experienced this at all considering his age.??

Thank you

  • I'm not fond of physical contact in general, but that said I'm not sure that others thinking the "snuggling" behaviour is odd has any relavence. I think many NT behaviours are odd but I dont try to make them desist, excepting whereas their behaviour directly references and impacts myself in a negative fashion.
