Someone...anyone..help fix me?

I usually tense up or flinch when someone touches me
It's never a noticeable flinch..and no I wasn't abused by anyone ever in my life...
But Think it's always only when men try to touch me even if its friendly
I feel myself recoil mentally lol

One of my sons has always recoiled a little bit from hugs. He has never been cuddly. And he really startles more than most people when someone enters his space unexpectedly. He’s in his early thirties and I wonder if he is “on the spectrum.”

what else makes you think he's on the spectrum@Poppies

That’s pretty much it. He grew up in the same family as my other two kids and has always received just as much love, but he wants his space. He’s bright, witty, funny@Jordayray. And maybe a little obsessively we’ll-organized!
