| I love being touched or hugged. The only exception is when I dislike the person in question, or when they put me off for some reason.

| That's interesting. I've always had some trouble accepting what is thought of as 'gender appropriate', though I still find it hard to untangle that knot of expectations, identity and stereotypes.

| Right. I did the test. The outcome is that I've got PDD-NOS in terms of DSM-4, which is still used where I went. I suppose that it will eventually be just "some degree of a certain type of autism" under DSM-5 - which makes me wonder whatever happened to the good old scientific zeal to beco... |
