I know this sounds perverted, but I don't mean it that way. XD
Like ZeldaP was excited about touching her friends hair, and that got me wondering how many aspies are like that? I know I am (not saying I'm an aspie).
Like, just, I always have to hold back urges to just touch someone's face. I also love playing with people's hair. One of the reasons I like doing people's makeup/hair is because I get to get close and inspect all their features, and touch their face and hair, and manipulate their looks. I also love giving people massages, and hugs (some people). And I just get urges to reach out and hold someone's hand, or play with their fingers, or arm hair, or whatever.
I learned it the bad way to NOT touch unless absolutely sure it's okay. So sometimes I'm hesitant to touch even where it's acceptable.
Ugh! It was so embarrassing, how I learned. It was 7th grade, and I leaned over and kissed my friend's cheek. She thought it was really weird. I never do that anymore. XD
