[QUOTE="Trix, post: 582567, member: 15998"] I have a question but most of what I hear about the spectrum is no eye contact and little or no physical contact. My daughter is the exact opposite I feel so touched out at the end of the day she literally climbs all over me and my husband she wants to be touching one of us all the time. Dragging us around the house by our hands, sneaking in the bed with us at night, trying to hug me around the waist or leg laying across my husbands legs on the couch. Nothing inappropriate but after hours and hours of my arms being rubbed, tripping over her and having her locked around my waist like a belt I am at a loss if you ask her to stop she reacts very badly melt downs , tears, really really distraught. The thing is she wants to do this with teachers, her grandparents, her doctor and her sister and it makes some people really uncomfortable (not that I blame them per-say) Also the eye contact she stares at you without blinking for ever. It makes other kids tend to avoid her and can be kind of odd until you get used to that and her unusual sort of toneless and often very fast and loud way of speaking. [/QUOTE]
