Thread: Does anyone know anyone with High Functioning Autism?

I don't like being touched either but it's more an anxiety thing. I don't have autism in any way.
I even "blow hugs" to my kids more often than physically touching them because close proximity to others makes me extremely irritable and panicky.

There are often several explanations as to why we do the things we do. I don't think it requires attention unless it interfers with a persons quality of life. But I too often ask a lot of questions simply because I'm curious and like to know things

My husband is a highly educated man whose currently an Ophthalmologist. He doesn't believe in medicating depression and ADD ect. He just can't comprehend such things. But they do exist. I was diagnosed with mild RLS and talking about it will make him downright cranky lol. He says it's yet another created illness to put peoples minds at ease and for companies to get more money out of for medicine
If people don't have first hand experience with certain things it's hard for them to emphasize and understand.
