My little Aspie is very affectionate, and frequently asks to "hug our family." My husband and I each pick up a kid and we have a group hug. He also asks me for hugs and kisses (he tells me how many kisses, and we count) and then proceeds to bang his little face against mine - he's an overzealous kis...
