[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had no idea that touching was an ASD thing. My dd's best friend is autistic and touches her nonstop. To the point where dd begs her to stop and has to take breaks from her. DD can't play with her daily because it's too much for her to handle. Other kids at school expressed the same. The touching was always there, it just wasn't as noticeable when they were preschoolers because preschoolers wrestle and are more hands on than older kids are (tweens and teenaged girls don't hug and touch). Glad I saw this thread. I would never have thought it was autism. Her parents are affectionate, so it wasn't like she didn't get hugs at home or something, so dh and I were baffled. [/quote] yes, thank you for this. A kid on the spectrum hugging/touching is not “cute.” It is behavior they need to be taught to stop. Because it can have really negative repercussions on many levels. [/quote]
