Autistic Hedgehog
RSSI notice in a few of the asks you've answered, you talk about autistic people not wanting to cuddle. But I really enjoy and feel a necessity to cuddle... Does this make me unusual/atypical among autistic people?
Not necessarily. We all have differing feelings about cuddling and touching. Some of us like it a lot, some of us hate it pretty much all the time, some of us fluctuate.
I’m very much a fluctuation type myself. Generally, I don’t like being hugged or touched much, but I usually don’t mind if it’s my husband. But even then there’s times I just don’t want to be held or hugged in any way, or times when all I want is to cuddle and be close.
Like everything with us, it’s a spectrum. :)
