:laugh:

I got cuddled in the streets, not too long ago.  :hyke:

  I'm not surprised.  Who could resist a cuddly chocolate bovine?  :heart:
I now wonder how the wife of the cuddler would have reacted if he had tried taking a bite.  :laugh:

I'd take a bite.  ;)

If you see a cute dog or cat you want to pet them.  If you see a deer in the wild, looking so calm and tame, you want to pet it.
Then why, pray tell, do we not have the same desire to pet other people?

I am hyposensitive proprioceptively and tactilely.
I do both respond well to and seek this out in others that i am close with. I am of course mindful of social etiquette but if others petted me I would not mind. I would not mind doing this to others.
as it is, people that know me, know I am very touchy feelly, not in a creepy way or anything. They don't mind. my boy is exactly the same way and we are trying to teach him more restraint as he is older.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

I'm the opposite man. I might actually bite someone's hand on impulse if they touched me around the head or shoulders especially. No kidding.

Mate to be honest, I don't mind being un-aspie like in this respect. I am happy just to be a big spaz in other ways.
My NT mates actually used to explain a lot of this kind of stuff to others (even before I let them know I was on the spectrum) by just saying to others "That is Ross, that is just what he does"

I don't think its aspie like to bite someone's hand for being too close to your face. That's just a lance thing lmao. I hate being touched around the head and shoulders. Face? You might lose a finger.

I don't mean anything by it, its like a reflex.

I never bit anyone but I have smacked my fair share of people who have gotten to close of touched me.  I tell people I like my distance and that if I can smack them in the head they are too close.

I got rubbed and petted at work today. I nearly purred.

I need my physical fix. I know more aspies who like it. And, who as kids have to learn to keep the right distance from people.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

Wait, you don't?  :P

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.
