Most people who are around me know not to touch me but that is because the majority of people I spend any length of time with are all trained in autism. If, however someone does lightly touch me (and I don't mean hugs because I can tolerate those if they are squeezy!) I tend to squeal and bite or slap the touched part! It takes the discomfort away but leaves me with a lot of bruises...

When someone touches me and I'm not expecting it I jump like I've been tazed. I absolutely HATE being touched unless I know the person. Even then, I am not happy.

Fast withdrawal, anger, and then I massage the spot strongly.

Just really uncomfortable but that also happens with any touching hard or soft.
