Autism and hugs.

Something I noticed that when I was a kid and teenager women always hugged cuddle and kissed me on check and now I'm in my 21st I don't understand why it's stopped. I have asperger syndrome and autism maybe it just happens to stop but I find them comforting and soothing I like human touch why has it stopped I don't understand is it the same for everyone or just me I miss them I wanna a hug.

I think you’d probably understand and be more empathetic if you had autism yourself or knew someone with autism

Well then if you don’t have a proper understanding of it and you don’t know someone close to you who has it then I suggest you don’t be so quick as to judge them and call them a creep because they aren’t

people with learning difficulties can still be creepy, it's not my fault. i, personally, find it creepy when random strangers want to touch me. so what?

I’m not obsessed with you, I’m just trying to show you there’s nothing wrong with what he’s saying, the women he was talking about might have been relatives or family friends. To be honest you don’t really have any position to comment if you don’t fully understand what autism is or know someone close to you who has it

there's nothing wrong with what i'm saying, either, i'm telling him how it is. most people find it creepy when adults they're not close to, want to hug them.

Well he wasn’t suggesting he’d want to hug adults that aren’t close to him, he was talking about women, that he probably knew when he was younger and that he misses it.
