Hello. So I have a thing where I need/want to hug/hold hands/high-five/poke etc. people I care for. I won't do this to strangers, but important people. Every ASD test I have done says that people with ASD don't like contact, but my dad's gf's son with ASD does the same thing. I wish I was able to hold hands with people I care for all the time. It makes me so happy and I enjoy it a lot. It's probably weird to many people, but this is me. I love physical contact in any way possible. It feels good and I feel positive because of it. This is one of the ways I express love and joy. I was just wondering if this is an ASD thing because I feel like it is. Thanks.
