    Makes me wonder if autistic people just weren’t hugged/snuggled enough as kids.

      Very old school hypothesis that has not stood up to scrutiny. a.k.a “Refrigerator Mother” hypothesis

      As a teacher, I’ve come to the realization that almost everyone wasn’t hugged enough as a kid.

      It breaks my heart every time I realize I’m the first person in a kid’s life that believed in them or told them that they were smart.

      You can look up parents’ experience raising autistic children and not wonder that.
