    Craving touch but afraid of intimacy. Your thoughts?

    Hi all, I have looked around the forums for a few days and there is something I noticed. Many people here don’t like to be touched, apart from people they know well. For me, it’s the other way around. I like being touched when a connection to me is not the point of the action. Things like...

    Hugs? Cuddles?

    Because my husband is a huge hugger and I have learned to accept his hugs and up to a certain point, get a sense of warmth from it; not all the time though, he is the only one I can hug ( which, of course is great) :p Anyway, what I find difficultly with regarding hugs, is the absolute...

    Please help! Thank you.

    Hi all! I'm a neurotypical (well, sort of- I do have bipolar disorder and some autistic traits) who is here not for myself but for my fiance. He is high functioning enough to hold down a job, and is jaw-droppingly intelligent, but he sometimes has trouble expressing himself (especially when he...

    Inappropriate Social Behaviour

    I'm sure this has already been discussed somewhere but I've not encountered it yet. The autistic stereotype is inappropriately under-responding, but do some of you sometimes over-respond? Are you sometimes too friendly or too touchy-feely? In what situations does this happen to you?

    Craving some forms of tactile input yet avoiding others

    The other night my stepdad wasn't feeling well, and I told him that I'd heard somewhere that rubbing Vick's VapoRub on the soles of your feet helps you sleep better with a cold at night (I've actually tried it once or twice and idk *how* it worked, but it did, at least for me). Then I recalled...

    Issues With Cutting Fingernails

    So I have this issue that I was hoping someone else in here has some experience with and maybe someone can offer me some advice; I can't STAND cutting my fingernails. It's not the act of cutting them that bothers me, it's how my fingers/nails feel after that is the issue. I have serious...

    Extremely selective of fabric textures?

    Is anyone else selective about what kind of fabrics/cloth textures they come into contact with? Not just with clothes (although that's a big part of it) but with blankets, bedding, pillowcases, sofas, stuffed animals, etc? I love very soft, fluffy, cuddly and smooth fabrics/coverings, such as...
