I'm still baffled. I'm voluntarily celibate and don't feel any need to touch or be touched by another human.

My mother was (and still is) a very warm and caring mother. She has always supported me in my endeavors (as has my father). My parents are very close to me, and me to them. I am convinced my autism is a result of both genetics and an oxygen deprived birth (resulting in my delivery via C-section).
