*grins* I do weird things! Sometimes I will flinch and not want anyone to touch me, but most of the time I'm over affectionate and get kicks out of hugging strangers!

Oh yeah, and I am uber ticklish too! *tickles ELSanity gleefully* :twisted:

I usually don’t have a problem with handshakes from most people. Hugs are restricted to people I’m really close with. I don’t like anyone rubbing or patting my back or shoulders in any way. I don’t like anyone touching my face either.

The more accurate choice not worded in the survey, 'I am on the spectrum, male, and I occassionally allow physical contact with specific people whom I trust.'
