hey my neighbor's boy is autistic and instead of disliking being touched he is really touchy feely. he is 6 and did not touch me much until I wore short shorts and a tank top. he has always liked talking to me and now I wonder if it's a crush. that would be fine with me but how to I respond to him stroking my arm, brushing his hand against my back and just general light feeling when i'm not sure if it's a crush or just wanting to touch someone he knows and likes? I let him know most people might not take that kind of touch the right way but he had a hard time not doing it. thanks.
