#actuallyautisitic

Going to start a list of autistic physical affection/intimacy because hugging is sometimes nice but it’s A Lot™

• “Starfish hug” - touching corresponding hands together and hugging the other person’s hand with your thumb
• Touching palms - this is my equivalent to hugging I think. I could stand and touch palms with someone for so long
• Booping a person’s nose
• Kissing the top of someone’s head or their hand like it’s a handful of bumblebees
• Holding hands while you both sway from side to side
