[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 622621, member: 1233"] This stuff sure is hereditary. I can see it going back generations in my family also. Esp on my dad's side. He was lucky that growing up most of his classmates were cousins or other relatives in some way. In the block that my gma lived on, there were seven houses filled with relatives. Catholic relatives, which means they each had more than 2 kids in them, lol. We had to either split the family up into factions or rent a hall to have a family reunion by the time I was eight. Boy could you see the aspie traits in those gatherings, lol. And mom's side is smaller, but has more severe cases of autism sprinkled through the generations. Took having grandkids to get my dad to enjoy the hugging thing with anyone but me. seems his little girl was his first exception, lol. Or he couldn't avoid it when I was little so he got used to it. whatever. But he still does the side arm hug thing mostly, IF we can get him to make an appearance when the family is around. And my mom wonders why I don't like the family get-togethers more. Again, lol. [/QUOTE]
